The Stiffness of Ionomers: How It Is Achieved and It’s Importance to Flexible Packaging Applications, 2003 PLACE Conference & GLOBAL HOT MELT Symposium

The packaging industry uses ethylene ionomers for their unique balance of properties, such as high stiffness and low heat-seal initiation temperature. These properties result from complex interactions between ionic and crystalline phases. We use studies of ionic strength, crystallization kinetics and thermal analysis to show how these phases form. This new understanding explains how stiffness develops in ionomers and its role in optimizing flexible packaging performance.
