Nanocomposite polyvinyl alcohol fibers for medical applications

Abstract: It was investigated how the HAp and SiO 2 nanoadditives introduced into the material of fibers made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) affects the structure, sorption, and strength properties of those fibers. The conditions of the fibers' production were selected with the aim of obtaining the nanocomposite PVA fibers which would be soluble in water and in body fluids. These fibers are intended to be used for the production of a biocomposite with another biodegradable polymer. The determination was made of the effect… Show more

“…Compared with many other polymers,4–6 for instances, alginic acid, hydroxymethyl cellulose, and polyoxyethylene, PVA is less expensive and possesses excellent tensile strength, good weather resistance, and alkali resistance 7–9. After dissolving in water, the solution is colorless, odorless, and truly biodegradable, which attracts renowned interest for the production of environmentally friendly water‐soluble fibers 10, 11…”
