Description | ||
|---|---|---|
Poly(vinyl alcohol) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. It has the idealized formula [CH2CH(OH)]n. It is commonly supplied as beads or as solutions in water. Without an externally added crosslinking agent, PVA solution can be gelled through repeated freezing-thawing, yielding highly strong, ultrapure, biocompatible hydrogels which have been used for a variety of applications such as vascular stents, cartilages, contact lenses, etc. |
