Several polypropylene–ethylene vinyl acetate (PP/EVA) copolymers with compositions ranging from 90/10 to 10/90 PP/EVA were prepared and characterized in terms of their morphology by transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and their mechanical properties were also studied. The results show a wide range of spatial structures which correlate well to the corresponding measurements of elastic modulus of the blends.
