## Abstract A series of physically crosslinked complex hydrogels of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were prepared via physical mixing and a freeze/thaw technique. The morphology of the CMC/PVA complex gels was analyzed with differential scanning calorimetry and wid

Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) composed of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) exhibited electrical-sensitive behavior. PAAc as an initial network was prepared inside a PVA solution using UV irradiation; then, PVA networks as a secondary network were formed by a repetit
The relationships between the properties and structure are discussed for poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/silica composites prepared through the sol-gel process. The composites became stiff and brittle with increasing the silica content. The properties of the composites were changed drastically at around th
