Both poly(vinyl alcohol)$(PVA)-I_2$ and PVA-dye polarizing film were prepared using PVA with number-average degree of polymerization of 1,700, 2,300, 2,600. The optical property of used dye in this study closed to the that of iodine. The PVA-dye polarizing film was prepared through the dyeing process. In comparison of the result of the measurement of the heat and humidity resistance of two types polarizing films, it of PVA-dye polarizing film was higher than that of a conventional $PVA-I_2$polarizing film. The transmittance and the polarization efficiency of PVA-dye polarizing film was significantly influenced by dye concentration, dipping time, salt concentration, and temperature of dye bath. The PVA-dye polarizing film exhibited a high polarization efficiency of 99.3% and a good transmittance of 42.4%.

셀룰로오스 펄프에 폴리비닐알코올의 블랜드, 가교, 및 카복시메칠화한 아니온성 셀룰로오스계 고분자 흡착제에 대한 모델 카치온 염료, C.I. Basic Red 18의 흡착 및 탈색 성능을 수용액계(pH 4.2)에서 검토하였다. 아니온성 셀룰로오스 고분자 흡착제의 카치온 모델 염료의 흡착등온성은 저농도 영역에서 Sigmoidal 형을 나타내었고 Donnan 흡착 모델 기구로 해석하였다. 하전기 도입에 따라 염료의 흡착능은 증가하였으며 이 흡착능력은 Sodium이온의 첨가에 의하여 저하하였다. 또 아니온 셀룰로오스계 흡착제에 의한 모델 염료의 배수 탈색율은 크게 증가하였으며 입상활성탄보다 우수한 탈색능력을 나타내었다.

Silk fabric was sputter-treated with Au, Cu, SUS, and Ti using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a binder, and its changes in color, antielectrostatic property, airpermearbility, and rubbing fastness were investigated. Sputter-treated silk fabric had a natural color of metal target, which was deepened by treatment of PVA solution. The rubbing fastness of thin metal layer formed by sputtering was improved by PVA treatment. Au had highest rubbing fastness among the metal targets. In addition, PVA treatment posterior to sputtering resulted In higher rubbing fastness than the other treatment method. However, a reverse trend was found in antielectrostatic property. Air permeability of the sputter-treated silk fabric was improved by PVA treatment, which was highest when sputtering was conducted prior to PVA treatment.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) obtained by the saponification of poly(vinyl ester) like poly(vinyl acetate) o. poly(vinyl pivalate) is a linear semicrystalline polymer, which has been widely used as fibers for clothes and industries, films, membranes, medicines for drug delivery system, and cancer cell-killing embolic materials[1-3]. PVA fibers and films have high tensile and compressive strengths, high tensile modulus, and good abrasion resistance due to its highest crystalline lattice modulus. (omitted)

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is useful for biomaterials such as contact lens, drug delivery system, and biological tissues, because of good biocompatibility and no toxicity. Particularly, hydrogels have unique position in biomaterial fields because of their high water contents.[1-2] Because atactic PVA (a-PVA) is very weak in water, a-PVA need to be chemically crosslinked with crosslinking agent such as glutaradehyde to prepare PVA hydrogels with high water-resistance and good physical properties.[3] (omitted)

In the crosslining reaction of poly(vinyl alcohoJ)(PVA) with sulfur-succinic acid which had been established in our previous work, reaction temperature, 15$0^{\circ}C$, was so high to collapse the pore struc¬tures in support membrane for the preparation of composite membrane. Therefore, the efforts have been focused on lowering of the reaction temperature to 100$^{\circ}$C by using a catalysis, HC!. The newly established crosslinking reaction was characterized through the analysis of the chemical and thermal properties. From these results, the optimum conditions for the membrane preparation couId be drawn as followings : (i) reac¬tion temperature, 100 $^{\circ}C$,(ii) reaction time, 90 min, (iii) the concentration of the catalysis (HCD, 1.5%. Com¬posite membranes were fabricated by coating a casting solution containing PYA, sulfur-succinic acid and HCl on a support membrane followed by crosslinking it at 10$0^{\circ}C$. The resulting membranes were applied to the pervaporation separation of methyl-tert-butyl ether(MTBE)/methanol (MeOH) mixtures at 30, 40, and 5O$^{\circ}C$. The flux of 5.09 g/$m^2$hr at 5O$^{\circ}C$ and the highest separation factor of 1622 were obtained, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the residual fluoride concentration of polymer adhesive tape in oral cavity which is made by spraying NaF on PVA base and to compare with Fluoride varnish(Cavityshiled$^{TM}$). Experimental groups were divided into two according to application methods; Group 1(NaF-PVA tape) and Group 2(Cavityshiled$^{TM}$). Topical fluoride was applied to 20 healthy adults aged from 25 to 30. Fluoride concentration in unstimulated whole saliva was measured by fluoride-sensitive electrode for 72 hours. 1. Until 72 hours after application in every group, significantly higher fluoride concentration was shown in saliva than baseline value(p<0.05). 2. At 2, 3 and 4 hours after application, Group 2 revealed significantly higher fluoride concentration than Group 1(p<0.05). 3. At 24, 48 and 72 hours after application, there was no significance(p>0.05). Although the residual fluoride concentration of saliva and the amount of fluoride of NaF-PVA tape are lower than those of Cavityshield$^{TM}$, NaF-PVA tape is considered to be more effective since it showed almost the same result as Cavityshield$^{TM}$. Therefore, NaF-PVA tape is expected to be a great fluoride application material.

The fiber reinforced thermoplastics(FRTP) were prepared with polypropylene fiber(PP) as matrix and polyvinyl alchol(VF), aramid(KF) or polyamide fiber(PAF) as the reinforcing materials using the integrated fiber mixing apparatus. The reinforced thermoplastic sheets were prepared by com¬pression molding and their morphology, rheological and mechanical properties were characterized. In the morphological properties of composites, the wettability of the reinforced thermoplastics were decreased in proportion to the content of fibers. At low angular frequency, the viscosity of PAF /PP and VF/PP composite was increased with the content of reinforced fiber. However at high frequency the viscosity of composite reinforced with 5~20wt% fiber, was shown the reduced values which approaches that of the neat matrix. The mechanical properties of the composite were changed with the content of reinforecd fiber, and VF/PP and KF/PP composite had better properties than PAF/PP system.

Poly[1-(cholesteryloxycarbonyloxy)ethylene](PCOE) and poly[1-(cholesteryloxycarbonylheptanoyloxy)ethylene] (PCOSE) were prepared by reacting poly(vinyl alcohol) with cholesteryl chloroformate or 8-cholesteryloxycarbonylheptanoly] chloride (CH8C), and their thermal and optical properties were investigated. CH8C formed a monotropic cholesteric phase whereas PCOE and PCOSE exihibited enantiotropic cholesteric phases. Like in the case of CH8C, the optical pitch $(\lambda_m)$ of PCOSE decreased with increasing temperature. PCOE, contrast with PCOSE, did not display reflection colors, suggesting that the helical twisting power or the cholesteryl group highly depends on the length or the spacer joining the cholesteryl group to the main chain. The mesophase properties of PCOE and PCOSE were entirely different from those of poly $(cholesteryl-\omega-acryloyloxyalkanoates)$. The results indicate that the mode of chemical linkage of the side chain group with the main chain plays an important role in the formation, stabilization, and temperature dependence of $\lambda_m$ of the cholesteric mesophase.

Hydrogels for wound dressing from a mixture of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL), poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), hexylene glycol (HG) and chitosan were made. The hydrogels were obtained by physical crosslinking of freezing and thawing, chemical crosslinking of irradiation, and irradiation after freezing and thawing of mixture solutions. The solid concentration of PVAL/PVP/HG/chitosan was 15 wt%. The concentration of chitosan was 0.3 wt%, and the ratio of PVAL/PVP was 6:4. The concentration of HG was in the range of 1∼5 wt%. The number of repeated freezing and thawing was in the range of 1∼3 times, and gamma irradiation doses were 25, 35 and 50 kGy. The physical properties such as gelation, water absorption and gel strength of hydrogels were examined. Gel content and gel strength decreased as HG concentration increased, whereas degree of swelling increased. Gel content and gel strength increased as irradiation dose and the number of freezing and thawing increased, whereas degree of swelling decreased. The hydrogels were evaluated for the healing effect for animals and for the antibacterial effect.
