Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer

The compatibilized poly ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)/high density polyethylene (HDPE) /organomodified montmorillonite (OMMT) blend nanocomposites were prepared in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder followed by injection molding. Montmorillonite clay was modified by octadecylamine and aminopropyltriethoxysilane to make it organophilic. Maleic anhydride grafted high-density polyethylene was used as a Compatibilizer. Nanoclay was added in different proportions to the selected EVA/HDPE blend composition. The concentration of nanoclay was varied from1 to 5 phr in the polymer blend. The resulting nanocomposites were evaluated in terms of their water absorption behavior. Moisture absorption behavior of compatibilized blends is lower than their corresponding blend. On adding the nanoclay the moisture absorption behavior of blend nanocomposites changed at 4 phr nanoclay loading.

In this study, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) was blended with Polylactic acid (PLA) in order to enhance the mechanical properties of PLA. PLA/EVA blend was melt blended in a twin screw extruder and compression molding with various EVA content (0-20% by weight) and the tensile and morphological properties were examined. The morphological behaviours play an important role in influencing the tensile properties of PLA. The smaller discrete EVA particle in PLA matrix had increased the properties of PLA compared with the one with elongated morphology.

The article presents naked-eye methods for fast, sensitive, and selective detection of isopentylamine and cadaverine vapours based on 4-N,N-dioctylamino-4′-dicyanovinylazobenzene (CR-528) and 4-N,N-dioctylamino-2′-nitro-4′-dicyanovinylazobenzene (CR-555) dyes immobilized in ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). The reaction of CR-528/EVA and CR-555/EVA indicator layers with isopentylamine vapours caused a vivid colour change from pink/purple to yellow/orange-yellow. Additionally, CR-555/EVA showed colour changes upon exposure to cadaverine. The colour changes were analysed by ultraviolet–visible (UV/VIS) molecular absorption spectroscopy for amine quantification, and the method was partially validated for the detection limit, sensitivity, and linear concentration range. The lowest detection limits were reached with CR-555/EVA indicator layers (0.41 ppm for isopentylamine and 1.80 ppm for cadaverine). The indicator layers based on EVA and dicyanovinyl azobenzene dyes complement the existing library of colorimetric probes for the detection of biogenic amines and show great potential for food quality control.
