Abstract
Polymeric blends based on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) rubbers filled with high molecular weight carboxymethyl cellulose were investigated in view of possible employment as biodegradable materials. The effect of vinyl acetate (VA) content and of addition of transesterification agent to increase interaction between EVA and cellulosic components was considered. Blends reinforced with cellulose microfibers in different amounts were also characterized in their mechanical, rheological, and thermal behavior. POLYM.
