ABSTRACT:

Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA)/poly(caprolactone) (PCL) blend (50/50 w/w) with co-continuous morphology was prepared via melt mixing for fabricating microporous EVA membrane materials through selective solvent-extraction. The shear flow and quiescent annealing techniques were employed to control co-continuous phase size in the EVA/PCL blend, and the time- and temperature-dependent relations of phase size were then evaluated theoretically. Using those techniques, the microporous EVA membrane materials with various pore sizes ranged from 2 to more than 200 are obtained. In contrast to the porous EVA membrane prepared by the traditional way of solvent casting/particulate leaching, the as-obtained microporous membrane shows higher level of interconnectivity and much narrower pore size distribution with uniform pore structure.
