Poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) hydrogels for the cleaning of art [PDF]
The cleaning of modern and contemporary paintings is a delicate and challenging operation. Many contemporary paintings exhibit rough, clotted and pitted surfaces, where the removal of soil is difficult. Gels are among the most efficient tools to achieve controlled and efficient cleaning of works of art.

Long Branching in Poly(vinyl acetate) and Poly(vinyl alcohol). V. Determination of the Long-Chain Branching in Poly(vinyl alcohol). [PDF]
Long branching in poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was quantitatively determined from measurements of the intrinsic viscosity and gel-permeation chromato-graphy of derived poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) according to Kurata’s method. The average number of branch points per unit molecular weight, λ3, was observed to lie in the range of 10−6—10−5 for PVA obtained ...
