Abstract

We have investigated the properties of poly (vinyl alcohol)-film obtained by casting from the solution PVA/electrolytes (NaCl, KCl, MgCl$_2$, CaCl$_2$)/water systems at room temperature. The removed electrolytes films have got high crystallinity as well as high draw ratio. The removed electrolytes films had layer-structure while a film without electrolytes didn't have it. A relation between draw ratio and thickness or number of layers, were recognized.
