| Description | Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic, water-soluble polymer derived from the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. It is known for its excellent film-forming, emulsifying, and adhesive properties, and can form physically crosslinked hydrogels through freeze-thaw cycling or chemically crosslinked hydrogels, exhibiting good biocompatibility and mechanical strength. |
| Application Areas | PVA hydrogels are used in a variety of biomedical applications including wound dressings, contact lenses, cartilage replacement materials due to their rubbery nature, drug delivery systems, and as phantoms for medical imaging and ultrasound. |
