Chitosan (CTS) was added into poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels to get their antibacterial properties. A series of CTS/PVA hybrid hydrogels were prepared by freezing/thawing method. The swelling properties of all hybrid hydrogels are better than those of the original PVA hydrogel. The CTS/PVA hybrid hydrogels show excellent antimicrobial performance towards Escherichia colis.

Aqueous nanosilica sol (particle size range: 9–13 nm, pH: 9.0) was added at various low concentration range (0.5–2 wt.%) into aqueous poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) of different molecular weight (98% hydrolyzed, 20 wt.%) (pH: 5.0) at room temperature under constant stirring to synthesize organic-inorganic hybrid hydrogels in presence of sodium lauryl sulphate as a silica dispersant. Buffer tablets were added to arrest the pH at 9.0 (to prevent any silica aggregation due to change in pH). The resultant hybrids were cast on Teflon sheets and dried in an oven at 50°C to drive out all the unbound water. Those films were then subjected to freese-thaw treatment continuously for 5 h. The freese-thawed films appeared opaque. The swelling-de swelling experiments with the hydrogels were carried out in distilled water at room temperature and consequently allowed to de-swell naturally. Those observations were correlated with the microstructures of the hybrid hydrogels.

In the present work, high density polyethylene (HDPE)/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fiber composites with four different PVA fiber loadings (i.e. 0, 5, 10, 20 wt%) have been prepared via melt compounding method using a twin-screw extruder. The composites were characterized for their morphology by using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Whereas, the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) was carried out by using an oscillatory rheometer. The DMTA test was carried out under torsion mode using temperature sweep test on rectangular composites samples. The DMTA results showed that the storage modulus (G¢) of the composites were higher than that of the neat HDPE and increased with increasing PVA fiber loadings. This indicated that there was a considerable stiffness enhancement of the composites. For example, at temperature of 60°C, the increases of stiffness (i.e. storage modulus) of the composites were approximately 3, 31, and 54% for PVAC-5, 10, and 20, respectively. Whereas, at higher temperature (i.e. 120°C), the increases were about 4, 50, and 98% for PVAC-5, 10, and 20, respectively. These results indicated that even at higher temperatures, the enhancement of storage modulus of the composites was still high.
