Some Physicomechanical Investigations on Near-transparent High Hydrolyzed Grade Poly(vinyl alcohol) Gels Impregnated with Surface-modified Waste Fly Ash
TLDR
In this paper, a polymeric gel composed of high hydrolyzed grade poly(vinyl alcohol) and surface modified waste fly ash has been synthesized and reported for the first time.Abstract:
Polymeric gel composed of high hydrolyzed grade poly(vinyl alcohol) and surface-modified waste fly ash has been synthesized and reported for the first time. Organic chlorosilane has been used as the surface modifier for the as-received fly ash samples for strong interaction with poly(vinyl alcohol). The resultant gels are visually transparent and thermally stable as compared to the virgin poly(vinyl alcohol). These are also mechanically stronger than the base polymer and as-received fly ash/poly(vinyl alcohol) gels due to better polymer-surface-modified fly ash interaction as reflected from their viscometric results.read more

Fiber mats of poly(vinyl alcohol)/silica composite via electrospinning
Changlu Shao,Changlu Shao,Hak Yong Kim,Jian Gong,Jian Gong,Bin Ding,Douk-Rae Lee,Soo-Jin Park +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/silica composite thin fibers, in the diameter of 200-400 nm were prepared by electrospinning, and the results indicated that PVA was changed from semicrystalline to amorphous state because of the increase of silica content.

Swelling of filler‐reinforced vulcanizates
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory is developed to account for the restricted swelling in solvents of crosslinked elastomers containing reinforcing fillers, assuming that the swelling is completely restricted at the filler-rubber interface due to adhesion.

Water resistance, mechanical properties and biodegradability of methylated-cornstarch/poly(vinyl alcohol) blend film
TL;DR: In this paper, the main shortcomings of biodegradable starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film are hydrophilicity and poor mechanical properties, and to overcome these disadvantages, cornstarch was methylated and blend films were prepared by mixing methylated-cornstarch (MCS) with PVA.

Foamed articles based on potato starch, corn fibers and poly(vinyl alcohol)
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of corn fiber, a co-product of bio-ethanol production, on mechanical properties and moisture resistance of potato starch based foamed plates were investigated, and 88% hydrolyzed PVA was added as a powder in the mixture, avoiding the time consuming and costly step of pre-dissolving the PVA.
