Photocrosslinking of vinyl acetate-isopropenyl acetate copolymer by quinones.

study of ethylene/vinyl acetate transformation to ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer by nmr and dsc

hydrolysis of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in alkaline conditions using two systems of naoh/methanol and koh/isopropanol has been studied and the formation of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer was systematically examined using nmr spectroscopy and dsc measurements. vinyl acetate weight percentage and the degree of hydrolysis were calculated from nmr spectroscopy and it is shown that hydrolys...

Dimensional Stabilization of Wood by Chemical Modification Using Isopropenyl Acetate

Chemical modification of wood with isopropenyl acetate (IPA) using iodine (I2) as catalyst has been carried out. Rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis) specimens were reacted with IPA using iodine (I2) catalyst at 95°C up to 10 h under solvent free conditions. The effect of catalyst concentration and reaction time was studied. The extent of acetylation was measured by determining weight percent gain ...

Enhanced Controlled Transdermal Delivery of Mexazolam Using Ethylene-vinyl Acetate

   Repeated oral administration of mexazolam, an anti-anxiety agent, may cause adverse effects such as gastric disturbance, drowsiness, and ataxia due to transiently high blood levels. Transdermal administration would avoid the systemic side effects and gastric disorders after oral administration. We have developed a matrix using ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a heat-processible and flexible mat...

poly(vinyl acetate)-based block copolymer/clay nanocomposites prepared by in situ atom transfer radical polymerization

atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene (st) and methyl methacrylate (mma) was performed at 90oc in the absence and presence of nanoclay (cloisite 30b). trichloromethyl-terminated poly(vinyl acetate) telomerand cucl/ pmdeta were used as a macroinitiator and catalyst system, respectively. the experimental results showed that the atom transfer radical polymerization of st and mma in the a...
