The physical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) are highly correlated with the method of preparation. The final properties are affected hy the polymerization conditions of the parent poly(vinyl acetate), the hydrolysis conditions, drying, and grinding. Further, the term poly(vinyl alcohol) refers to an array of products that can be considered copolymers of vinyl acetate and vinyl alcohol.

Tphe wide range of physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of - poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) does not always satisfy the demands of some applications. It is therefore necessary to provide one or more of the additional characteristics desired by modifying the resin formula without degrading the other properties. 

The cement-in-polymer dispersions under investigation consist of two components, namely a finegrained, non-hydrated cement and a polymer. To investigate the influence of the polymer on the reactivity and performance of the mixture, two polymers with contrasting chemical and physical properties namely poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl alcohol) have been chosen (Fig. 2).

Vinyl ketones are an interesting class of monomers because various members of this group polymerize via a radical, anionic, and cationic mechanism. Methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) - also named 3-butene-2-one - is its best examined representative. The physical properties of poly(methyl vinyl ketone) (PMVK) depend on the polymerization conditions and the degree of polymerization. PMVK ranges from a viscous oil to a hard plastic or rubbery mass. Polymers obtained with free radical initiators are amorphous materials with low softening points (about 40 to 80 °C) and poor thermal and chemical stability [274,275]. The molecular weights are relatively low because of the lability of the protons in the oc-position to the carbonyl groups.

The most important physical properties of poly[l-alkyl-4(5)-vinylimidazoles] is their water solubility. The alkylation of the imidazole ring reduces intramolecular H-bonding which causes the insolubility of the polymer in aqueous media. The apolar character of the poly[1-alky1-4(5)-vinylimidazoles] is easily varied by the nature of the alkyl substituent. The preparation of 1-alky1-5-vinyl-imidazole monomer and polymer is shown in Scheme I. 

Emulsion Adhesives. The most widely used emulsion-based adhesive is that based upon poly(vinyl acetate)—poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymers formed by free-radical polymerization in an emulsion system. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is typically formed by hydrolysis of the poly(vinyl acetate). The properties of the emulsion are derived from the polymer employed in the polymerization as weU as from the system used to emulsify the polymer in water. The emulsion is stabilized by a combination of a surfactant plus a coUoid protection system. The protective coUoids are similar to those used paint (qv) to stabilize latex. For poly(vinyl acetate), the protective coUoids are isolated from natural gums and ceUulosic resins (carboxymethylceUulose or hydroxyethjdceUulose). The hydroHzed polymer may also be used. The physical properties of the poly(vinyl acetate) polymer can be modified by changing the co-monomer used in the polymerization. Any material which is free-radically active and participates in an emulsion polymerization can be employed. Plasticizers (qv), tackifiers, viscosity modifiers, solvents (added to coalesce the emulsion particles), fillers, humectants, and other materials are often added to the adhesive to meet specifications for the intended appHcation. Because the presence of foam in the bond line could decrease performance of the adhesion joint, agents that control the amount of air entrapped in an adhesive bond must be added. Biocides are also necessary many of the materials that are used to stabilize poly(vinyl acetate) emulsions are natural products. Poly(vinyl acetate) adhesives known as "white glue" or "carpenter s glue" are available under a number of different trade names. AppHcations are found mosdy in the area of adhesion to paper and wood (see Vinyl polymers). 

Tetraethylene glycol may be used direcdy as a plasticizer or modified by esterification with fatty acids to produce plasticizers (qv). Tetraethylene glycol is used directly to plasticize separation membranes, such as siHcone mbber, poly(vinyl acetate), and ceUulose triacetate. Ceramic materials utilize tetraethylene glycol as plasticizing agents in resistant refractory plastics and molded ceramics. It is also employed to improve the physical properties of cyanoacrylate and polyacrylonitrile adhesives, and is chemically modified to form polyisocyanate, polymethacrylate, and to contain siHcone compounds used for adhesives. 

The excellent chemical resistance and physical properties of PVA resins have resulted in broad industrial use. The polymer is an excellent adhesive and possesses solvent-, oil-, and grease-resistant properties matched by few other polymers. Poly(vinyl alcohol) films exhibit high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and oxygen barrier properties which, under dry conditions, are superior to those of any other known polymer. The polymer s low surface tension provides for excellent emulsification and protective coUoid properties. 

It is well known that the mechanical and physical properties of vinyl polymers are dependent upon their stereochemical configuration. It is critical, therefore, that the stereoregularity of poly(TBTM/MMA) be determined accurately and conveniently if the field performance of the material is to be predicted with any certainty.

The miscibility between poly (vinyl chloride) and poly-urethanes based on poly (oxytetramethylene) glycol can be improved by introducing opposite charge groups to form ionic bonds. The improvement in miscibility from ionic bonds between the two polymer systems provided the best chance for interpene-tration between the linear chains of VMCC and the PU networks in order to obtain good physical properties of the ionomer pseudo-IPN coatings from PU and VMCC. 

Unfomuilated poly(vinyl acetal) resins form hard, unpliable materials which are difficult to process without using solvents or plasticizers. Plasticizers aid resin processing, lower the glass-transition temperature, Th, and can profoundly change other physical properties of the resins.
