Y. Guo et al., Study on segmental interaction parameter between ethylene and vinyl acetate monomer units of EVA by inverse gas chromatography, J APPL POLY, 71(5), 1999, pp. 693-698
A method of analysis of inverse gas chromatography (IGC) measurements on co
polymers to calculate segmental interaction parameters was proposed. Poly(e
thylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc), and dotriacont
ane (C32) were studied at 120 degrees C with eight different probes of vary
ing polarities by IGC. The value of the segmental interaction parameter bet
ween ethylene units and vinyl acetate units in EVA was found to be 1.18, wh
ich is consistent with the literature values. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, I
