Effect of Nonionic Surfactants on the Crystallinity and Thermal Stability of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Film

<p>In this study, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/surfactant films were prepared by casting technique. Two nonionic surfactants with different alkyl chain lenghts (Tween 20 and Tween 40) were used. PVA/Tween 20 and PVA/Tween 40 films were characterized by means of Fourier Transform infrared spectros...
