Effect of ultrasonication duration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel on characterizations of PVA film
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2020 Many works reported a PVA based film prepared using ultrasonication, however, information on the effect of this treatment on changes of PVA’s properties is still limited. The main objective of this work was to study the effect of ultrasonication duration
