24.1 INTRODUCTION

It is possible to extend the sphere of application of ethylene copolymers by the modification of the original polymer or by the development of composite materials on their basis. Traditionally the compositions formation is effective in the presence of additives, interacting with the polymer during the processing. It results in the regulation of the material properties. One of the methods of chemical modification is the introduction of organosilicon compounds into polyolefins. Earlier [1, 2], we studied the modification of ethylene copolymers with vinylacetate by ethyl silicates containing various amounts of ester groups. Similar studies were conducted by V. Bounor-Legaré et al. [3], so it was interesting to study changes in the structure of ethylene copolymers with other comonomers of ethereal nature, to identify general trends and specific differences during the modification of ethylene copolymers, containing different reactive segments, by limiting alkoxysilane.
