Compatibility of polyvinyl alcohol and poly(methyl vinyl ether- co-maleic acid) blends estimated by molecular dynamics

The CSIR has developed a novel oxygen barrier technology for plastics packaging based on interpolymer complex formation between PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) and PMVE-MA (poly(methyl vinyl ether- co-maleic acid)). As interpolymer complexation interactions are strongly dependent on stoichiometric ratios,...
