Near-infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance spectra have been measured by use of a rotating drawer for pellets of 12 kinds of ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers with vinyl acetate (VA, the comonomer) varying in the 7-44 wt % range. They are unambiguously discriminated from one another by a score pl

โฆ Synopsis
Three ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers (3.5, 12.0 and 18.8 mo13o VA: average melt index 8.5 g/10 min) were transformed into ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymers and ethylene/vinyl alcohol/vinyl acetate terpolymers by homogeneous saponification. The reaction rate increased with mol0,] VA. This feature originated in the reactivity differences beteen vicinal and isolated VA functions. Simultaneous steric and polarity effects caused the reaction rate differences. ~H-NMR, i.r., dielectric measurements and additional saponification reactions confirmed the difference of reactivity.
