Description
Summary:The solution behavior of metal maleate low density polyethylene graft ionomers (LDPE‐g‐MAMe) in extremely dilute and dilute solutions was investigated in this study. The concentration region was divided into three parts because of the different viscosity–concentration relations of these ionomers. The ηsp/C–C relations of zinc maleate low density polyethylene graft ionomers (LDPE‐g‐MAZn) were studied in detail and compared with those of low‐density polyethylene and low‐density polyethylene‐g‐maleic anhydride. Finally, the viscosity–concentration relations of LDPE‐g‐MAMe (Na, K, La) were also studied and compared with one another. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 81: 1481–1486, 2001
