Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) resin composition, an EVOH film formed therefrom, and a multilayer structure containing the same. The surface roughness of the EVOH resin composition is the root mean square gradient (Sdq) between 0.0005 and 13. The EVOH of the invention can reduce the torque output during processing, and make the appearance of the EVOH film highly uniform.

1 - 16 . (canceled) 17 . An ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition in the form of pellet including an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin, wherein the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition has a surface with a root mean square gradient (Sdq) ranging from 0.0005 to 13 and its largest outer diameter or long axis is 1.5 to 5.0 mm . 18 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 , wherein the surface of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition has a developed interfacial area ratio (Sdr) ranging from 0.05% to 110%. 19 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 , wherein the surface of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition has a surface arithmetic mean height (Sa) ranging from 0.003 to 1.5 μm. 20 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 , wherein the surface of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition has a surface maximum trough depth (Sv) ranging from 0.005 to 8 μm. 21 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 , wherein the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin has an ethylene content of 20 to 48 mole %. 22 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 , wherein the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin has a saponification degree greater than 99.5 mole %. 23 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 , wherein the surface has a maximum line height (Rz) between 0.02 and 15 μm. 24 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 , wherein the surface has a maximum line height (Rz) between 0.02 and 9.9 μm. 25 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 having a moisture content of less than or equal to 1 wt %. 26 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 having a boron content of 5 to 550 ppm. 27 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 having an alkali metal content of 5 to 550 ppm. 28 . The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 further including one or a combination of the group consisting of cinnamic acid, conjugated polyene, slip agent and alkaline earth metal. 29 . An ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer film formed from the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition of claim 17 . 30 . A multilayer structure, comprising: (a) at least one layer formed from the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin of claim 17 ; (b) at least one polymer layer; and (c) at least one adhesive layer. 31 .
