Notes:
Annealing studies of the calcium salt of an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer are reported. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were applied to the investigation of the effect of polyethylene crystallization on ionic structure as a function of annealing temperature and time. The spectroscopic changes observed in the spectra of the calcium salt annealed at 80°C differ from those seen in the spectra of the calcium salt annealed at room temperature. These changes are interpreted in terms of the multiplet-cluster model and the effect of the polyethylene-type crystallinity on the ionic microstructure.
