Polyethylene-based ionomers, due to t h e presence of ionic aggregates, display a time-dependent crystalline morphology if submitted t o thermal treatments. As a consequence gas permeability, which is strongly affected by physical morphology, is also found t o be time dependent in previously thermal

β¦ Synopsis
Aerobic mineralization of several different paperboard materials under laboratory-exposure conditions was studied. A novel respirometer was used to titrimetrically determine the kinetics of gas evolution and the rate of biodegradation was quantified by an empirical rate coefficient k. Various bleached paperboard materials studied showed about the same rate (k Ο 0.14 -0.16 days Οͺ1 ) and a 50 -58 weight percent conversion of substrate carbon into carbon dioxide under the conditions used in the study.
