PE/EVOH multilayer films offer improved helium barrier performance and mechanical strength, making them promising materials for pressurized stratospheric balloon applications.

Vinyl acetate is an important industrial monomer that is used to make homopolymers and copolymers with a wide variety of applications. It is a volatile, flammable liquid that, like many esters, has a ...

Vinyl alcohol, actually a non-inebriating complex organic molecule, is an important part of many chemical reactions on Earth, and the last of the three stable members of the C 2 H 4 O group of ...

Vinyl acetate synthesis and current production Esters are usually synthesized from an alcohol and an acid, most frequently, a carboxylic acid. In some cases, an epoxide is used instead of the alcohol; ...
