UV aging behaviour of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) with different vinyl acetate contents
TL;DR: In this paper, the mild UV aging of two vinyl acetate (VAc) copolymers was performed in a xenon arc source chamber, and the degradation mechanism was analyzed via attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), gel content and high temperature gel permeation chromatography (HTGPC).
