The comprehensive patent list concerned with the acetoxyhydroxide transformation of ethylene vinyl acetate Copolymers is examined. The possible reaction mechanisms and processing techniques for this kind of transformation are described. Finally, a survey of about 55 of the most interesting patents is given, together with some general features of the acetoxyhydroxide exchange.
