Application

  • Characterization of low-density polyethylene and LDPE-based/ethylene-vinyl acetate with medium content of vinyl acetate: This study characterizes the effects of vinyl acetate content on the properties of low-density polyethylene and EVA composites, highlighting the impact on material performance (Pham, 2021).
  • The thermo-mechanical degradation of ethylene vinyl acetate used as a solar panel adhesive and encapsulant: This research investigates the degradation mechanisms of ethylene vinyl acetate when used in solar panel applications, providing insights into its durability and performance under environmental stress (Badiee et al., 2016).
  • Recent development of ethylene–vinyl acetate modified asphalt: This article explores the use of ethylene-vinyl acetate in modifying asphalt binders, focusing on the improvements in road material technologies due to changes in vinyl acetate content (He et al., 2023).
