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

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 and melting temperature of the gels and the viscosity and gelation ability of solutions, the PVA solutions of 75 vol % phenol content were selected for the gel spinning. The maximum dynamic moduli of drawn filaments at 25Β°C (room temperature) were 42 GPa (15x) for atactic PVA and 45 GPa (14x) for syndiotacticityβrich PVA. Β© 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
