Abstract: | A system of hydrogen bonds in weakly hydrated PVA films containing up to ≤8.5 wt % water is investigated via IR spectroscopy. It is shown that water molecules bind to only part of the hydroxyl groups of the polymer that are available for hydration and form the first hydrating layer. In a completely dehydrated film, practically every hydroxyl group of PVA forms hydrogen bonds with two other hydroxyl groups and serves as both a proton donor and a proton acceptor. In the hydrated film, one to three water molecules directly bind with one hydroxyl group of PVA. |
