Determination of vinyl acetate in ethylenevinyl acetate copolymers by pyrolysis GC.

Non-isothermal crystallization and melting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers with different vinyl acetate contents

Non-isothermal crystallization and subsequent melting of three grades of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. The DSC crystallization curves show that vinyl acetate (VAc) content has the same effect on the onset, peak and final crystallization temperatures, and these copolymers have almost the same spacing of thermal windows un...

Micro structure determination of Af-vinylcarbazole/vinyl acetate copolymers by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy

The copolymers of iV-vinylcarbazole/vinyl acetate (V/A) of different compositions were prepared by solution polymerization using AIBN as an initiator. The copolymer composition was determined from quantitative "Cf'H} NMR spectroscopy. Reactivity ratios for the comonomers were calculated using the Kelen-Tudos (KT) and non-linear error in variable (EVM) methods. Two-dimensional heteronuclear sing...

Simultaneous Determination of Furan and Vinyl Acetate in Vapor Phase of Mainstream Cigarette Smoke by GC-MS.

A simple and sensitive method for simultaneous determination of furan and vinyl acetate (VA) in vapor phase of mainstream cigarette smoke with cold trap and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed. A Cambridge filter pad (CFP) was placed in front of the impingers of smoking machine to remove the particle phase from cigarette smoke. Furan and VA in vapor phase of mainstream ci...

Synthesis of poly(vinyl acetate) block copolymers by successive RAFT and ATRP with a bromoxanthate iniferter.

Poly(vinyl acetate)-b-polystyrene, poly(vinyl acetate)-b-poly(methyl acrylate) and poly(vinyl acetate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymers with low polydispersity (M(w)/M(n) < 1.25) were prepared by successive reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) employing a bromoxanthate iniferter (initiator-transfer age...
