Each one is made with or wrapped in polyvinyl alcohol, or PVA. Although that wrapping seems to magically disappear, a recent studyshowed 75% of it actually ends up in our waterways. “Most people ...

Published in Science Bulletin, the study introduces a composite that mimics the layered stem structure of plants. By aligning ...

A recent article in Scientific Reports presents a study on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films embedded with biochar-modified titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanocomposites, developed to improve water treatment ...

The first array is composed of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and PVA, while the second incorporates a combination of polyvinyl ...

These interfaces can be made with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), high impact polystyrene (HIPS) or other materials. Dissolvable materials like PVA are used as support structures, ...

the team created two polymer composites of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)—one incorporating perfect graphite fillers and the other using defective graphite oxide fillers, each at a low 5% volume fraction.

Begin with a blue polyvinyl alcohol solution that no amount of shaking will transform. Slime-making novices, experts, and everyone in between know that they need to add something. Use strands of party ...

Researchers in Iran developed a passive solar module cooling method using silicon carbide porous ceramic. When combined with ...

The team compared two carriers for the antibiotics cefazolin and chloramphenicol: the commonly used polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and cross-linked hyaluronic acid (XHA). They discovered that XHA greatly ...

The boron repeats this process three more times, bonding to a total of four different sites on polyvinyl alcohol molecules. As a result, the polyvinyl alcohol molecules become a tangled mess that ...
