β¦ Synopsis
We report the permeabilities of deuterium and helium-4 through poly(viny1 alcohol) (PVA) over the temperature range of 25-125Β°C. For deuterium, permeabilities ranged from 0.5 X to 50
x 10-18 mol-m/m2.s.Pa at these two extreme temperatures. Helium permeabilities were roughly five times higher. We also studied the effects of different curing temperatures and time on the deuterium permeability and found that, to within experimental error, results were the same for samples heat treated at any temperature between 100Β°C and 140Β°C. Aluminizing the samples using a special process decreased the permeabilities by a factor of at least 5. A sensitive apparatus constructed around a quadrupole spectrometer was used to measure the very low permeabilities. The apparatus is described in detail.

The permeabilities of liquids through syndiotactic-rich poly (vinyl alcohol) (s-PVA) very thin films (about 0.3 pm) scooped up from the interface of air/aqueous solution were compared with that of casting s-PVA films (about 15 pm) . The permeability of water decreased with time and the volume of per
## Abstract In this study, hydrogels were prepared from blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). The miscibility of the polymers was confirmed with differential scanning calorimetry with the appearance of a single glassβtransition temperature. Additionally, a negative
Poly(viny1 alcohol) (PVA) is soluble only in water and so some important derivatives like esters cannot be prepared from PVA. The 100% conversion of PVA to acetal is also elusive as there is strong intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. However, PVA can be dissolved in a nonaqueous medi
