Application

  • Controlled Drug Release: Polyvinyl alcohol-based polymeric nanofibers, produced via electrospinning, demonstrated effective controlled release mechanisms for lysozyme, suggesting potential applications in targeted drug delivery systems (Ogawa et al., 2024).
  • Recyclable Hydrogels: Fully hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol has been utilized to fabricate recyclable hydrogels at room temperature, highlighting its utility in developing environmentally friendly materials for diverse applications (Liu et al., 2023).
  • Antibacterial Polymeric Films: The hydrolysis degree of polyvinyl alcohol significantly affects the properties of antibacterial polymeric films, which incorporate zinc sulphate for enhanced biomedical applications (Sedlarik et al., 2010).
