Structure studies were performed on PVA gels in mixtures of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water using various scattering methods to see the hierarchic structure. It was found that the crosslinking ...

Poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels (PVA-Hs) are promising materials for various biomedical applications and have been studied extensively. ... COLVIN, B. G. Crystal structure of polyvinyl alcohol.

A recent article in the Journal of Polymer Science presents a multilayer film made of polyethylene (PE) and ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH). The structure places PE on the outer layers and EVOH on the ...

Even so, some early preparations used acetaldehyde, the aldehyde that corresponds to vinyl alcohol. In a 1958 patent to Celanese (New York City), inventor Arthur W. Schnizer reported the reaction of ...
