PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HIGHLY-ORIENTED POLYVINYLALCOHOL FIBER
Abstract
Polyvinylalcohol (PVA) is a crystalline polymer, capable of hydrogen bonding, which makes the polymer useful for many industrial applications. production of high strength fibers, medical substitutes, adhesives, and so on[1], Specially, among fiber-forming polymers, PVA has the second highest crystal modulus and extreme strength after polyethylene because the polymer chain can take a planar zig-zag conformation.
