Effect Of Acetate Group Content In Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer On Properties Of Composite Based On Low Density Polyethylene And Polyamide-6

The effect of the content of vinyl acetate groups in ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer on the properties of polymer composite based on low density polyethylene and polyamide-6 was studied. Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing less vinyl acetate groups (10-14 wt.%) has a positive compatibility effect on polymer composite than ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing 21-30 wt.% vinyl acetate groups. The polymer composites of LDPE, PA-6, and EVA containing 10-14 wt.% vinyl acetate groups possess the ability of biodegradation. The physical-mechanical properties of sample and molecular mass reduce after 28 days of incubation.
