Several poly (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) copolymers have shown the unique ability to
self-heal following projectile puncture, with the punctured site subsequently holding …

The principle subject in the current paper is to summarize and characterize the ionomers
based on polymers and copolymers such as polystyrene (PSt), polyisoprene (PIP) …

A series of polyester‐based ionomers containing dimethyl 5‐sulfoisophthalate sodium salt
(DMSI) with up to 5 mol‐% diacid units was synthesized by two‐step polycondensation …

The rheological and mechanical (tensile) properties of ethylene methacrylic acid (EMAA)
ionomers neutralized by Na, Li, and Zn are investigated in binary combinations of two pure …

The roles of ionic bonding in molten ethylene ionomers without ionic aggregates were
rheologically characterized in linear and nonlinear regions under shear. We have measured …

The effects of small contents of absorbed water on coordinated structure and rheological
properties for EMAA-Zn ionomers in terms of dynamic visocoelastic and FT-IR measurement …

The effects of non-neutralized carboxylic acid (-COOH) on strain hardening of EMAA-54Na
and EMAA-59Zn ionomers blended with StMAA and PS were investigated. In case of EMAA …

Since the early 1950s, the introduction of ionic groups has been recognized as a tool that
can change the polymer properties. Thus, ionomers, polymers that contain a small amount of …

This study examined the effects of the sodium salts of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) on
the dynamic mechanical properties and morphology of two sets of poly (styrene-co-sodium …

The effects of ion aggregates on zero shear viscosities η0 for ethylene-co-methacrylic
ionomer melts were investigated. Rapid increasing of η0 for Zn ionomers was shown in high …
