Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a well-known synthetic polymer widely recognized for its excellent film-forming, emulsifying, and adhesive properties, along with its solubility in water. Modified polyvinyl alcohol represents an important evolution of an already versatile polymer. Through targeted modifications, PVA can be transformed into a high-performance material suited for specialized and demanding applications. Its ability to combine custom functionality with environmental safety makes it a valuable resource in developing sustainable and innovative products.However, while unmodified PVA alre

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic, water-soluble polymer with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. It is derived from polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) through a hydrolysis process, which replaces acetate groups with hydroxyl groups. When this hydrolysis is incomplete, the result is partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol—a form that retains some of the original acetate groups, offering a unique balance of properties compared to fully hydrolyzed PVA. Partially hydrolyzed PVA typically contains 86–89% hydrolysis, meaning about 11–14% of the original acetate groups remain intact.
