Abstract

Abstract:

Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and its derivatives,the excellent water-soluble polymers,have attracted more and more attention,as they show the usability in many processes,as well as possess the promise of degradation in the presence of some specific microbials.In the present paper,the recent advances in the biodegradation of PVA and its derivatives,including the mechanism,influential factors,evaluation method and degradation environment etc,have been reviewed.Moreover,the latest development of PVA-based blendsPcomposites and their biodegradation is also introduced in the present article.

Key words: water-soluble polymers, poly (vinyl alcohol)/poly (vinyl acetate), biodegradation, blends/composites
