Abstract

Maleic anhydride (MAH) was melt-grafted on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) with a grafting degree of 6.3%. Through studying the crystal structure of the resulting EVA-g-MAH, the MAH groups had little influence on crystal structure. According to the Owaza model analysis of the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of EVA-g-MAH and EVA, the MAH groups had a large blocking effect on crystallization. However, the Mo model showed that the crystallization rate of EVA-g-MAH was slightly faster than EVA. The crystallization activation energy was calculated by the Takhor and Kissinger models, and both results indicated that EVA had a larger effective energy barrier than EVA-g-MAH.
