โฆ Synopsis
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 thermally treated ionomer samples. The effect of sample exposure a t 65ยฐC and o f successive ageing a t 35ยฐC on gas transmission properties of three different ethyleneacrylic acid ionomers (characterized by a different amount of acrylic acid groups, percentage of neutralization and type of counterions) has been investigated. In particular the changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide permeabilities due to thermal treatments a t 65ยฐC and subsequent ageing a t 35ยฐC have been monitored. X-Ray diffraction analysis and differential scanning calorimetry have been used t o elucidate these changes in transport properties.
