Abstract:

AbstractThe thermal degradation of pure ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA, 12% vinyl acetate) and electron beam radiation-cured EVA, cured in the presence of a small amount of sensitizer, has been studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetry and infrared spectroscopy. These studies suggest that radiation-cured EVA is more thermally stable than pure EVA.
