Partially phosphorylated poly vinyl alcohol (PPVA) was mixed with two different aluminum (Al) sources (aluminum nitrate and aluminum hydroxide) to produce a PPVA-AlPO4 composite. Transgravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the weight residue of PPVA-AlPO4 composite using aluminum nitrate is higher than aluminum hydroxide. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows the occurrence of multiple phases of PPVA-AlPO4 composite using aluminum nitrate and three broad peaks at range of 2-6, 6-18 and 24-36 ̊ using aluminum hydroxide.
