✦ Synopsis
Branched and network poly(viny1 alcohols) (PVAs) were prepared with inter-acetalization of the PVA with aldehyde groups at the chain ends which was prepared by the cleavage of 1,2 glycol bonds in commercial PVA. The numbers of branches estimated from molecular weights were compared with those estimated by theory. Huggins' constant and crystallinity decreased with increasing branch number. Dissolution of branched PVAs into dimethylsulphoxide was not so easy compared with commercial PVA. The colour of branched PVA-iodine complex decreased rapidly with standing while that of commercial PVA decreased gradually. Network PVAs with Young's modulus of 1-8 MPa were prepared.
