PVC gloves are manufactured in almost the same way. The polymer is solubilized in a significant amount of low volatile plasticizer in a masterbatch called “plastisol,” which usually contains stabilizers, lubricants, and pigments. The plasticizer plays the role of a solvent. Other organic solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons or ketones can be added.

The experiment consisted of a cylindrical plastic phantom that contained a disk-shaped region loaded with nanoparticles. Such a region was aimed at promoting localized heating under near-infra-red laser exposure. The material used for the preparation of the phantom was PVCP (Polyvinyl Chloride Plastisol, M-F Manufacturing Co., Fort Worth, TX). Iron oxide nanoparticles were used as the laser absorbing agent due to their relative low cost.
