“…Based on its mechanical and biological properties, it has applications in food packaging, biology, medicine, and construction [21]. In recent studies, PVA/EPS-based films have been reported in the biomedical and bioplastics fields [22][23][24][25][26]. However, there is currently no study investigating the basic properties of PVA/SG blended films.…”

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–bacterial succinoglycan (SG) biodegradable films were developed through a solvent-casting method. Effects of the PVA/SG ratio on the thickness, transmittance, water holding capacity, and structural and mechanical properties were investigated by various analytical methods. All the prepared films were transparent and uniform, and XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed that PVA was successfully incorporated into SG. The films also showed excellent UV-blocking ability: up to close to 80% with increasing SG concentration. The formation of effective intermolecular interactions between these polymers was evidenced by their high tensile strength and moisture transport capacity. By measuring the biodegradation rate, it was confirmed that films with high SG content showed the fastest biodegradation rate over 5 days. These results confirm that PVA/SG films are eco-friendly, with both excellent biodegradability and effective UV-blocking ability, suggesting the possibility of industrial applications as a packaging material in various fields in the future.

Polymers are composed of many smaller units connected by covalent bonds, with higher molecular weight and larger molecular structure. Due to their economical efficiency and easy modification, researchers have discovered the potential of polymers as the flotation reagent in mineral processing, including the roles of depressant, flocculant, and frother. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the utilization of polymers in mineral flotation, emphasizing their current applications and mechanistic investigations. The study categorizes polymers into three types: natural polymers, modified polymers, and synthesized polymers. Detailed discussions include the polymers structures, functional properties, adsorption mechanisms and specific application examples of each reagent are shown in the main text, which will provide a vital reference for the development of highly efficient and environmentally friendly reagents in mineral flotation.
