General description
Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) is a non-crystalline, atactic polymer. It is prepared from vinylacetate monomer via free radical polymerization. It is commonly usedin the food industry due to its low toxicity and excellent flexibility. PVAc films are used as emission sensors forvehicles and in oral drug delivery products.
Application
Poly(vinyl acetate) can be used as a:
- Starting material to prepare polymer fibers for gas and humidity sensor applications. Citric acid-doped PVAc nanofibrous mats can be used to develop sensors for trimethylamine gas at room temperature.
- Polymer coating for floating tablets showing a controlled drug delivery. PVAc is a suitable excipient to ensure reliable and safe drug release. PVAc-based matrix tablet flow due to intrinsic low density and high elasticity of polyvinyl acetate coating.

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are nanoscale cellulose produced from renewable resources with strong reinforcing potential when included in a polymer matrix. In this work, the effect of the addition of CNFs on the properties of waterborne polyvinylacetate (PVA) adhesive was investigated.

Tailor-made conjunct of methyl cellulose (MC) and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) was synthesized through the combination of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and thiol-ene click reaction. MC was firstly transferred into unsaturated MC (UMC), and then covalently connected with well-defined
