Synthesis and characterization of hydrophilic chitosan-polyvinyl acetate blends and their sorption performance in binary methanol–water mixture

Chitosan-polyvinyl acetate (CHI-PVA) blends were prepared throughout copolymerization reaction. Chitosan (CHI) as a hydrophilic molecule was added to modify the blend surface of polyvinyl acetate (PVA). The sorption effects of CHI-PVA blends were studied in the presence of binary feed mixture of met...
