## Abstract Aqueous solutions of __Syndiotactic__βrich poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) form thermally reversible gels. The volume of the solution decreases with gelling time on standing at isothermal condition. Assuming that the gelation is due to the crystallization of PVA, the kinetics of isothermal cr
## Abstract The light transmittance of the gels of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/phenol/water solutions was examined for the entire range of phenol/water content. Excellent transparency was found for the gels with phenol contents of 70β95 vol %. In full consideration of the results for the transparency
The melting temperature of the gels of the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/ethylene glycol (EG) system was measured. It was found that the temperature was independent of the thermal hysteresis. The apparent enthalpy of the fusion of the junction, DH, was 206 kJ/mol for a high molecular weight atactic PVA
The properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels containing saccharides (D-xylose, D-fructose, D-glucose, and maltose) were examined. The effect of the addition of saccharides to PVA hydrogels on their melting temperatures was remarkable when the gels were chilled at 0Β°C with saccharide content
