Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the modification of both fully and partially hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by adding zinc sulfate at varying concentrations using a solvent cast technique.
- The modified polymer films were analyzed for various properties including structure, mechanical strength, thermal behavior, and antibacterial activity against several bacterial strains using several testing methods.
- Results indicated that the degree of hydrolysis of PVA significantly influenced the overall properties of the films, particularly their antibacterial effectiveness.
