Abstract
This chapter focuses on polymers made from monomers that contain a carbon–carbon double bond through which the polymer is made by addition polymerization. Chemical structures of monomer and polymers, manufacturers and trade names along with typical enduses of the plastics are included besides extensive tabular and graphical permeation properties. Plastics included in this section are the many types of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polybutadiene (PB), polymethyl pentene (PMP), cyclic olefin copolymer (COC), ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene–vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polyacrylics, acrylonitrile–methyl acrylate copolymer (AMA), and ionomers.
