Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a great interest polymer due to its excellent film-forming, emulsifying, microwave dielectrics and adhesive properties. However, PVA is a water-soluble synthetic polymer making it susceptible to environmental factors. In this work, PVA is crosslinked at room temperature us...
