Using succinic acid as the cross-linking agent, through the reaction of COOH- and OH-, an ester group is generated, which cross-links the PVA molecules and generates a modified PVA glue that is insoluble in water. The introduced COOH-group can improve its water resistance, hardness, adhesion, etc.   Weigh an appropriate amount of PVA, add water, heat it in a water bath with electric stirring, and control the water bath temperature to 80-90°C. After it is completely dissolved, stop heating to obtain PVA glue. In a water bath at a certain temperature, add an appropriate amount of succinic acid to the above-mentioned PVA glue, stir it under closed conditions to react, and cool to room temperature to obtain a modified PVA glue.   Using succinic acid as the cross-linking agent, PVA glue was modified, and the optimal modification conditions were determined to be: PVA glue mass concentration 7%, reaction temperature 85°C, and PVA glue to succinic acid mass ratio 5.6:1. Here Under the conditions, the hardness, adhesion, viscosity and impact resistance of the modified PVA glue obtained were significantly improved, and the water resistance was also improved.

By adding nanoscale reinforcements to the composite matrix, the mechanical properties of the composite (such as strength, stiffness, elastic modulus, etc.) can be significantly improved. The polyvinyl alcohol adhesive modified with nano-silica particles is non-toxic and pollution-free. It will be widely used and is worthy of systematic research.   Current research on the modification of nanoparticles mainly focuses on the following two aspects: one is to use silica as the base, modify its surface with a modifier, and then graft the polymer; the other is to use the polymer as the base, and then graft it. branch modifier, and then graft silica. To modify nanosilica, it is generally dispersed in an organic solvent and then a modifier is added.   Introducing inorganic nanoparticles into the adhesive for modification can improve its tensile bonding strength and elongation at break. When the dosage of nanoparticles is within a certain range, the nanoparticles can be well dispersed into the adhesive matrix. Because of their huge specific surface area, they can interact strongly with the adhesive matrix, thus improving the mechanical properties of the adhesive. However, if the dosage exceeds a certain range, serious agglomeration will occur, the particle interface area will be reduced, the interaction between the nanoparticles and the adhesive matrix will also be weakened, and the content of reactive nanoparticles will be reduced, resulting in a reduction in its mechanical properties. . The mechanical property test results of the nano-modified adhesive show that when the dosage of nano-silica particles is 4%, the various performance indicators of the modified adhesive reach the maximum value.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

The water resistance of polyvinyl alcohol was improved by cross-linking with maleic acid (commonly known as maleic acid, MA). The esterification crosslinking of PVA membrane is achieved through the esterification reaction between PVA molecule and MA at high temperature. The esterification crosslinking reaction actually introduces carbonyl group into the polymer chain of PVA, forming a new polymer, but the main chain of the whole PVA polymer remains unchanged.   The PVA after esterification with MA only has chemical crosslinking, and does not produce a stable crystal structure, so the PVA film is easy to be swollen by water and destroy the structure of the film. Therefore, the PVA film should be heat treated. Since the esterification reaction in the liquid phase is characterized by reversibility, the crosslinking of polymers in the PVA film during the heating process makes the esterification reaction irreversible due to the partial water that has not been removed in the casting liquid and the complete volatilization of the water generated by the esterification reaction of PVA and MA, and the cross-linked PVA film is stable.   PVA can improve the water resistance and poor mechanical properties of PVA by chemical crosslinking with MA. Proper concentration of crosslinker and heat treatment conditions can make PVA obtain better water resistance.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.  

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) contains a large number of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, which exhibit strong affinity for water during external drying and wetting changes. The use of epoxy resin, with high bonding strength and good stability, as a modifier for PVA is mainly because the epoxy groups in the epoxy resin can react with the hydroxyl groups in PVA to form ethers. To carry out the epoxy resin modification method of PVA, measure the required amounts of PVA and water and add them separately to three-necked flasks equipped with stirring and reflux devices. Start stirring and raise the temperature to 90°C, maintaining the reaction for 1 hour to obtain a PVA aqueous solution of a certain concentration. Cool it to 70°C, increase the stirring speed, and add a specific amount of epoxy resin to the glue solution. Maintain the reaction at this temperature for 2 hours to obtain epoxy resin-modified PVA.   Through orthogonal experiments, it has been determined that the optimal reaction conditions for PVA modification are a PVA concentration of 8%, modification time of 2 hours, epoxy resin addition of 2.4% (mass fraction), and modification temperature of 60°C. Under these conditions, the modified PVA exhibits excellent performance in terms of curing degree, which reaches 89.6%, significantly higher than the curing degree of unmodified PVA, which is 64.5%.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

Additionally, the PVA film can act as a barrier, protecting the active ingredients from moisture, oxygen, and other environmental factors.   PVA can also be used as a binder in the formulation of TCM tablets. By adding PVA to the powder mixture,it enhances the cohesion and compressibility of the blend, resulting in tablets with improved mechanical strength and reduced friability. This ensures that the tablets retain their integrity during handling, packaging, and transportation.   Furthermore, PVA can serve as a viscosity modifier and suspending agent in liquid TCM formulations. By adjusting the concentration of PVA, it is possible to control the flow and rheological properties of the liquid, allowing for better dispersion and suspension of the active ingredients. This is particularly useful for TCM preparations that contain insoluble or poorly soluble herbal extracts or powders.   Another important application of PVA in TCM preparations is as a component in transdermal patches or topical formulations. Due to its biocompatibility and adhesive properties, PVA can act as a matrix material for delivering TCM active ingredients through the skin. The PVA matrix provides controlled release and prolonged drug delivery, facilitating the absorption of the herbal components into the systemic circulation.   In summary, polyvinyl alcohol has shown great potential in the field of modern traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Its film-forming, binding, viscosity modifying, and transdermal delivery properties contribute to the development of high-tech plastic packaging and improved product formulations, enhancing the efficacy and quality of TCM products.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.
