1 Introduction Partial alcoholysis of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer yields EVAOH, a terpolymer that combines ethylene, vinyl acetate (VAc), and vinyl alcohol (VA) units within the same macromolecular backbone. This material exhibits excellent barrier properties [1-6], high efficiency in compatibilizing polymer blends [2], and promising applications as a biomaterial [7-12].
