Description
Summary:Poly(vinyl alcohol), a hydrophilic and low cost polymer seems be a good candidate in making supports with different functionalities. Chemical modification of this polymer can be obtained by polymer-analogue reactions. Applications of modified poly(vinyl alcohol) have been proposed in coatings, biomedical or photoresist field, due to its desirable properties, low toxicity and biocompatibility. In this paper we report some characteristics of poly(vinyl alcohol) with pendant azido aromatic groups. The azido substituent makes this polymer potentially useful as membrane.
