Title: | Recent Updates on the Barrier Properties of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH): A Review | Authors: | MAES, Caroline Luyten, Wout Herremans, Geert PEETERS, Roos CARLEER, Robert BUNTINX, Mieke |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | POLYMER REVIEWS, 58(2), p. 209-246 | Abstract: | The gas barrier properties of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) against oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor have been widely investigated in relation to different material characteristics, environmental conditions and new processing technologies. Recently, EVOH is gaining more attention as a barrier material against other gases and organic substances such as aromas, flavors, fuels, chemicals (e.g., BTEX), and as a functional barrier, e.g., to avoid mineral oil migration. This review contains an update on permeability data of EVOH emphasizing its potential as a barrier material for new and versatile applications in food and pharmaceutical packaging, agriculture, construction, automotive, etc. | Notes: | Buntinx, M (reprint author), Hasselt Univ, Packaging Technol Ctr IMO IMOMEC, Martelarenlaan 42, B-3500 Hasselt, Belgium. mieke.buntinx@uhasselt.be | Keywords: | ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer; EVOH; permeability; barrier properties; functional barrier; mineral oils; (volatile) organic compounds | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/26398 | ISSN: | 1558-3724 | e-ISSN: | 1558-3716 | DOI: | 10.1080/15583724.2017.1394323 | ISI #: | 000431597800001 | Rights: | © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2019 |
