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.
