According to our invention, thermoplastic poly(vinyl chloride) block copolymer resins of the (AB)n type are formed which are flexible without the addition of an external plasticizer for poly(vinyl chloride). These novel block copolymer resins have average molecular weights (Mn) in the range of from about 15,000 to 60,000 and contain alternating rigid poly(vinyl chloride) segments and flexible linear aliphatic polyether or polyester segments, each having an average molecular weight in the range of from about 1,000 to 5,000. The resins of our invention have excellent physical properties which make them suitable substitutes for externally plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) homopolymers, particularly in automotive applications.
