✦ Synopsis

Kinetics of reaction between ethylene-methylacrylate copolymer and poly-dimethyl siloxane rubber during melt processing has been studied from the infrared spectrophotometric data. The kinetic pattern confirms first order kinetics and the activation energy of the reaction was found to be 17 kJ/mole.
