Functionalization of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) with vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEOS) has been carried out by a free-radical melt-grafting procedure in the presence of added comonomers. The influence of comonomers on silane graft yield and crosslink density has been assessed. Experiments were
