Abstract

We report the employment of single-boron compounds as readily available cross-linkers for strengthening ethylene-methacrylic acid ionomers. The novel cross-linking strategy effectively strengthened the ionomers with enhanced mechanical and rheological properties, affording excellent (re)processability without changing the transparent appearance.
