Abstract

Ethylene/vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymers are widely used. These copolymers have been reacted with metallic and organometallic groups for various applications. In the present work, organostannane modified EVOH copolymers are synthesized and characterized and their structure-property relationships, especially with respect to their applications as antibacterials and fungicides as well as their film forming ability, are studied. The modified copolymers exhibit "ionomer-like" thermal properties. Some of the properties of the modified EVOH products are also compared to analogous modified polyvinyl alcohol products.
