Notes:
Abstract Stress-strain and dynamic-mechanical tests were performed on two ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers (Eval E and Eval F, with about 45% and 25% of ethylene respectively) irradiated in air. The experimental results, in agreement with the solubility and calorimetric results previously reported [1], show that both crosslinking and chain scission are present, and that a decrease in the degree of crystallinity with the irradiation dose occurs.
