Polymerization Of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate

Coordination copolymerization of vinyl acetate vac with ethylene leading to linear copolymers that possess in chain ch 2 ch oac units has been accomplished using novel palladium complexes bearing alkylphosphine sulfonate ligands.

Polymerization of ethylene vinyl acetate.

The ethylene copolymerization by itp itcop with vinyl acetate allowed to form a broad range of poly ethylene co vinyl acetate eva containing from 0 to 85 mol of vac unit. The evoh copolymer is an excellent oxygen barrier due to its recyclability and transparent nature which makes it an ideal film for food packaging 1 2. Eva is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate va segments typically formed via free radical polymerization. Eva copolymers are commercially used predominantly in the areas of coating laminating and in the film industries.

Eva generally contains 1 50 of the va comonomer along the carbon chain backbone. With other monomers it can be used to prepare various copolymers such as ethylene vinyl acetate eva vinyl acetate acrylic acid va aa polyvinyl chloride acetate pvca and polyvinylpyrrolidone vp va copolymer used in hair gels. Eva polymer milk ethylene vinyl acetate eva also known as poly ethylene vinyl acetate peva is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. Monomer partitioning and preliminary modelling.

The weight percent of vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 40 with the remainder being ethylene. The ethylene vinyl acetate eva copolymer can be prepared by copolymeriztion of ethylene and vinyl acetate then alcoholized to form ethylene vinyl alcohol evoh copolymer. Vinyl acetate c4h6o2 cid 7904 structure chemical names physical and chemical properties classification patents literature biological activities safety. By fine tuning the ethylene pressure and the vinyl acetate content a broad range of copolymers containing from 0 to 85 mol of vac unit was achieved.

It can be polymerized to give polyvinyl acetate pva.
