Quantitative determination of the vinylacetate content in ethylene vinyl-acetate copolymers—a critical review

The various methods for the determination of the vinylacetate (VA) content in any ethylene vinylacetate copolymer are examined critically. Each available method is described briefly, together with its relative accuracy. All methods give comparable results and are equally valid, but IR spectrometry can be considered the most flexible and accurate VA content measuring technique.
