Poly(vinyl alcohol) is a polymer used as coating material, adhesive, and in the production of specific plastics. Its synthesis involves the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate using catalysts like sodium carbonate or zirconium oxide. The enzymatic activities of Poly(vinyl alcohol) are dependent on its molecular weight, typically ranging from 67,000 to 1 million. Notably, it exhibits antibacterial properties by forming hydrogen bonds with the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting bacterial growth. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is a hydrophilic linear polymer that can form copolymers with vinyl acetate and vinyl alcohol. This is achieved through alkaline hydrolysis. This polymer is known for its high mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity.
