Ethylene-methacrylic acid

Ionomer resins consisting of ethylene—methacrylic acid copolymers partially neutralized with sodium or zinc were commercially introduced in 1964 by Du Pont under the Sudyn trademark (1). More recently, a similar line of products, sold as Hi-Mdan resins, has been commercialized by Mitsui—Du Pont in Japan. lolon ionomeric resins, based on ethylene—acrylic acid, are produced by Exxon in Belgium. Ionomers containing about 1 mol % of carboxylate groups are offered by BP in Europe as Novex resins. Low molecular weight, waxy Aclyn ionomers are produced and sold by AHiedSignal. [Pg.404]

EMAA = ethylene-methacrylic acid. Decimal numbers are decimal fractions of acid groups that have been neutralized. [Pg.405]

Ionomer. Ionomer is the generic name for polymers based on sodium or zinc salts of ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers in which interchain ionic bonding, occurring randomly between the long-chain polymer molecules, produces solid-state properties. [Pg.1290]

Ethylene methacrylic acid (1-10%) copolymers are known as ionomers Some of the COOH groups are esterified in the commercial product. [Pg.151]

Figure 17 shows the infrared spectra (from 1900 to 1200 cm-1) of the completely ionized calcium ionomer of an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer recorded at room temperature (a) and the same film recordered at 40, 70, 130, and 150 °C (b-e, respectively). This recording of the spectra at the elevated temperatures accentuates the sharp doublet at 1515/1548 cm which is characteristic of an interaction or vibrational splitting of the pairs of COO" groups.

By adjusting the exposure time, quantitative conversion of carboxylic acid groups (followed near 1710 cm 1) can be obtained (fig. 5). Typical bands at 1836, 1796 and 1555 cm 1 correspond to acid fluorides, acid chlorides and ammonium carboxylates groups respectively. In the case of EMA (Ethylene-Methacrylic acid) some sodium carboxylate groups were initially present. FTIR analysis showed that these functions (1559 cm 1) were also converted into acid fluorides ...

Infrared Spectra of Ionomers. Infrared absorption data, first published in 1964 (11), show that partial neutralization of ethylene—methacrylic acid introduced new absorption bands at 1480-1670 cm-1 for the ionized carboxylate group while the 1698 — cm-1 band of the free acid carboxyl diminishes in size (21). In addition to providing information on structural features, the numerous absorption bands are significant in applications technology, providing rapid warmup of film and sheet under infrared radiation.

The ionic aggregates present in an ionomer act as physical crosslinks and drastically change the polymer properties. The blending of two ionomers enhances the compatibility via ion-ion interaction. The compatibilisation of polymer blends by specific ion-dipole and ion-ion interactions has recently received wide attention [93-96]. FT-IR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for investigating such specific interactions [97-99] in an ionic blend made from the acid form of sulfonated polystyrene and poly[(ethyl acrylate - CO (4, vinyl pyridine)]. Datta and co-workers [98] characterised blends of zinc oxide-neutralised maleated EPDM (m-EPDM) and zinc salt of an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer (Zn-EMA), wherein Zn-EMA content does not exceed 50% by weight. The blend behaves as an ionic thermoplastic elastomer (ITPE). Blends (Z0, Z5 and Z10) were prepared according to the following formulations [98] ... [Pg.151]
