Research Development of Biodegradable Modification of Poly (vinyl alcohol) Film

Abstract:

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a kind of biodegradable film material, and its degradation process is mainly done through PVA-degrading enzymes, but the film biodegradation cycle is longer, so it needs other polymers with favorable biodegradability to improve the degradation rate in the nature environment. In this paper the biodegradation mechanism of PVA films and the influence of structural feature on biodegradability were described. The research development of starch-based biodegradable PVA films by blending starch to reduce the biodegradation cycle was emphasized and the biodegradable films modified by chitosan to improve film properties was briefly described.
