  2. Polyvinyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_alcohol

    Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. It has the idealized formula [CH 2 CH(OH)] n . It is used in papermaking , textile warp sizing , as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer in polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) adhesive formulations, in a variety of coatings, and 3D printing .

  3. Vinyl polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_polymer

    Vinyl polymers are subject of several structural variations, which greatly expands the range of polymers and their applications. With the exception of polyethylene, vinyl polymers can arise from head-to-tail linking of monomers, head-to-head combined with tail-to-tail, or a mixture of those two patterns. Additionally the substituted carbon center in such polymers is stereogenic (a "chiral center")

  5. Vinyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_alcohol

    Vinyl alcohol, also called ethenol (IUPAC name; not ethanol) or ethylenol, is the simplest enol. With the formula C H 2 CH O H , it is a labile compound that converts to acetaldehyde immediately upon isolation near room temperature. [ 1 ]

  6. PEG-PVA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEG-PVA

    Polyethylene glycol–polyvinyl alcohol (PEG-PVA) brand name Kollicoat IR is a multifunctional excipient [1] used as a pill binder as well as a wet binder. A typical formulation is composed of 25% polyethylene glycol (PEG) and 75% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA); where the vinyl alcohol moieties are grafted on a polyethylene glycol backbone.

  7. Formvar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formvar

    Formvar refers to any of several thermoplastic resins that are polyvinyl formals, which are polymers formed from polyvinyl alcohol and formaldehyde as copolymers with polyvinyl acetate. They are typically used as coatings, adhesives, and molding materials. [1]

  8. Vinyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_acetate

    Vinyl acetate is the acetate ester of vinyl alcohol. Since vinyl alcohol is highly unstable (with respect to acetaldehyde), the preparation of vinyl acetate is more complex than the synthesis of other acetate esters. The major industrial route involves the reaction of ethylene and acetic acid with oxygen in the presence of a palladium catalyst. [6]

  9. Vinylon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinylon

    Vinylon, also known as Vinalon (more common in Korean sources), is a synthetic fiber produced from reaction between polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber and formaldehyde. Chemically it is polyvinyl formal (PVF). Vinylon was first developed in Japan in 1939 by Ri Sung-gi, Ichiro Sakurada, and H. Kawakami. [1]
