Abstract

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), due to its many desirable characteristics is preferred for a variety of applications ranging from stabilizing colloids to pharmaceutical, medical and cosmetic field. Polymer-analogue reaction of PVA with functional azides leads to new material characterized by film forming property and photosensitivity. This paper deals with some characteristics of films obtained from poly(vinyl alcohol) with pendant p-azidobenzoic tested as potential membranes. The electric potential in ionic solutions, the behaviour in the presence of water and permeability parameters of films of modified poly(vinyl alcohol) were investigated.

Keywords

Poly(vinyl alcohol), Azido group, Photosensitive polymer, Membrane.
