If ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymers are converted with aluminum alcoholates, crosslinked products will form. This reaction was studied on the basis of the viscosity variation and the amount of acetic acid ester formed. The constants of the reaction velocity for the conversion with various aluminum alcoholates were determined and a reaction mechanism is discussed.
