IR Study of Silanol Modifi cation of Ethylene Copolymers

Abstract

The chemical interaction of organosilicon compounds and copolymers of ethylene with vinylacetate and copolymers of ethylene with vinylacetate and maleic anhydride was studied by IR-spectroscopy absorption and attenuated total reflection (ATR). An enrichment of the surface layers of polymers by siloxane phase was found, that may be useful in the design of the chemical structure of adhesive materials for different purposes.
