Thermally Stable Silphenylene Vinyl Siloxane Elastomers and Their Blends

Cellulosic Polymer Blends 1: With Vinyl Polymers

This chapter reviews recent studies on blends of conventional cellulose esters (CEs), such as cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose propionate (CP), and cellulose butyrate (CB), with non-crystalline vinyl (co)polymers mainly comprising the N-vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) unit. The mixing behavior of the CE/VP-containing copolymer blends is seriously affected by the chain length (i.e., carbon number) and d...

Poly(vinyl alcohol)-poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) blends: Preparation and characterization for a prospective medical application

Poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) were blended and films were obtained by casting method. Glutaraldehyde, hydrochloric acid and lactic acid were added to investigate their effect on mechanical properties, swelling and solubility of the blends with the aim to find a possible material candidate for medium or long term implants. Combination of all three additives (lactic acid, glutar...
