A study of poly(vinyl alcohol) thermal degradation by thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry

The thermal degradation of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) having different degrees of hydrolysis and molecular weights was studied by thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential thermogravimetry (DTGA). Four degradation events were identified whose intensity was related to the degree of hydrolysis. It was ve...
