Abstract:Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which has the lowest oxygen permeability among various commercial polymers, shows great potential in high-barrier packaging applications. However, the difficulty in thermal processing of PVA inhibits its use in barrier packaging because the mainstream technique for producing PVA film, i.e., solution casting, has the disadvantages of low production efficiency, long production cycle, and high operating costs. Herein, inspired by the gel spinning of PVA fibers, a moderate amount of wate… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
