The synthesis, mechanisms, and additives for bio‐compatible polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels: A review on current advances, trends, and future outlook

Abstract: Vinyl polymers are widely used in biological, textile and industrial applications and are currently attracting research attention for specialized bio‐based applications. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels show great advantages as a material with high biocompatibility, permeability, hydrophilicity, and low‐friction coefficient, allowing applications as smart materials, wound dressings, and flexible sensors. However, the poor mechanical properties of PVA hydrogels and biocompatibility less than natural polymers m… Show more

“…Starch, polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polylactic acid (PLA), and so on are some examples of bio-derived plastic. 2,3 The environmentally detrimental effects of petroleumbased plastics could be avoided by using bioplastic. However, due to their high cost and poor physical, mechanical, and water resistance qualities, these bioplastics are not easy replacements for nondegradable thermoplastics.…”

“…Additives such as nanocellulose, proteins, and polysaccharides can be incorporated without compromising valuable features like biodegradability or cost-effectiveness to improve their mechanical properties. Furthermore, these additives can expand the range of potential hydrogel applications [16]. Another method to strengthen the mechanical properties of SA/PVA hydrogels is using a combination of processes of salting out and freezing-thawing cycles [17].…”
