Abstract
AbstractPolymerization tests were carried out in a stirred autoclave designed for continuous operation in order to determine the influence of the reaction pressure and temperature and of the acrylic acid methyl ester and vinyl acetate comonomers on the ethylene‐acrylic acid methyl ester‐vinyl acetate terpolymer formed. Pressures between 1100 and 1900 bar and temperatures of 180 and 230°C were used. The average residence time was 40 seconds. Tertiary butyl perpivalate and tertiary butyl perethyl hexanoate in concentrations of 50 to 180 mol‐ppm in the ethylene feed were used as initiators. The characteristic properties of the polymers obtained were assessed by determining their composition, density, crystallinity, melting point, glass transition temperature, melt index, the average molecular weight, tensile strength and elongation at break.
