Abstract
The catalytic activity of different compounds (dibutyl tin oxide, titanium tetrabutoxide, zirconium tetraethoxide, and para-toluenesulfonic acid) for transesterification reactions between polymers was studied. This study was carried out on three different reactions: between two model compounds (methyl benzoate and octyl acetate), between a polymer and a model compound (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and methyl benzoate), and for crosslinking of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with dimethyl terephthalate. For these three reactions dibutyl tin oxide presented the higher catalytic activity. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 79: 1556–1562, 2001
