Mechanical and thermal properties of potassium salts of poly(ethylene-co -ethylacrylate): Polyolefin ionomers in the absence of acid groups

Strengthening ethylene-methacrylic acid ionomers with single-boron-based molecules as cross-linkers in dynamic networking

“…1). [6][7][8] The combination of two physical interactions into one system dramatically enhances the mechanical properties of the ionomer, including high tensile strength, good stiffness, and outstanding resistance to abrasion/puncture, some of which are even better than those of crystalline polyethylene and its copolymers with carboxylic acid. 9 In recent years, polymers with dynamic networks have received great research interest.…”
