Abstract Several hydrogels were synthesized by free-radical polymerization in an aqueous medium based on potato starch (PS), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and N,N'-Methylenebisacrylamide (MBAm), being possible to study these hydrogels as a function of the proportion of components incorporated. In this way, the products generated from the synthesis were characterized by swelling and deswelling kinetics, the first swelling being verified with Schott and statistical models, allowing to contrast the proximity between the experimental and theoretical behavior. Additionally, spectroscopy (FTIR), morphological (SEM), and thermal (TGA and DSC) analysis allowing to know the intrinsic characteristics of the material, increasing in general terms the knowledge of this type of material. In this context, it was possible to verify the characteristics and effectiveness of the synthesis and crosslinking of the main components. The experimental results obtained show that the synthesized hydrogels present representative first swellings consistent with kinetic and statistical models; however, there are significant changes in the second swelling derived from polymer degradation that occurs during the same swelling/deswelling cycles processes.

In the present study, high density poly(ethylene) (HDPE)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fiber composites were prepared via melt blending technique using a co-rotating twin screw extruder (TSE). The effect of four different PVA fiber concentrations (i.e. 0, 5, 10, 20 wt%) on the melt and crystallization behavior of the HDPE/PVA fiber composites were investigated. The surface morphology of the composites was analyzed by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Whereas, the melt and crystallization behavior of the composites were analyzed by a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The SEM analysis on the cryo-fractured surface of the HDPE/PVA fiber composites exhibited that the PVA fibers were well blended/distributed in the HDPE matrix. Additionally, the DSC test results showed that the addition of PVA fiber in the HDPE matrix did not significantly change the melting peak temperature (Tm) of the composites. Furthermore, a slight decrease of the crystallization peak temperature (Tc) can be observed when the PVA fiber was incorporated in the HDPE matrix, which indicated a weak nucleation ability of the PVA fibers in the HDPE crystallization process. The same trend was also observed for the crystallinity index (Xc). The crystallinity index of the composites decreased with increasing PVA fiber loadings.

AbstractThis study attempts to clarify thermodynamic quantification on interaction between poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and wood-derived cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) obtained by aqueous counter collision (ACC) method. Aqueous mixtures of PVA/ACC-CNFs with various fiber widths were cast as the target materials. The interfacial interactions between the two components were characterized through thermodynamic evaluation of the crystalline PVA component as a probe in the cast mixture. As the result, surface properties of the ACC-CNFs found to reflect on the crystallization behavior of the interacted PVA component, resulting in dual nano-size effects of either diluent or nucleating agent. Melting point depression behaviors of the PVA component indicated that ACC-CNFs with thinner widths induced nucleation effects on PVA crystallization, whereas ACC-CNFs with ca. 100 nm in width encouraged diluent effects on PVA components. It is noted that this trend found to be reverse to the case for PVA/ACC-CNFs of bacterial nanocellulose previously reported.
