A simple green route to obtain poly(vinyl alcohol) electrospun mats with improved water stability for use as potential carriers of drugs
(Elsevier Science, 2016-07)
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a hydrophilic, biocompatible and nontoxic polymer. However, because of its low water-resistance, some applications for PVA-based materials are limited (e.g., drug delivery systems and wound ...

(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2019-06)
Supramolecular hydrogels have promising applications in a wide variety of fields including 3D bioprinting, sensors and actuators, biomedicine and controlled drug delivery. This communication reports the facile reversible ...
Reversible swelling as a strategy in the development of smart membranes from electrospun polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber mats
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2020-02)
This work presents an electrospun nanofibrous membrane for water treatment, designed to reduce its pores through polymer swelling to retain contaminants, and after that, reopening them for easy cleaning. It consists of a ...
Bentonite-composite polyvinyl alcohol/alginate hydrogel beads: Preparation, characterization and their use as arsenic removal devices
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Arsenic (As) is a major source of water contamination that has both natural and anthropogenic origins, so that, to remove it from water is a relevant topic. Taking into account the ease of operation, the cost of processing ...
Physically-crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol composite hydrogels containing clays, carbonaceous materials and magnetic nanoparticles as fillers
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/ Bentonite, acid-modified Bentonite, magnetic nanoparticles and mesoporous carbonaceous composite hydrogels were synthesized via an eco-friendly freeze-thawing technique, which is a simple and ...
Cassava starch films: effect of polyvinyl alcohol on films’ water diffusion, permeation and sorption behavior and mechanical properties
