Abstract: | Modification and crosslinking of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by thiolation using thioglycolic acid (TGlA) and various crosslinkers were carried out. The crosslinked thiolated PVA (TPVA) hydrogels were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy coupled with thermal analysis (TG-FTIR) techniques. The crosslinking of the resultant material was carried out using three crosslinker sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP), glyoxal and boric acid. The influence of esterification and crosslinking on the physical and chemical properties of the material was studied. XRD showed that after crosslinking the crystallinity of TPVA hydrogels decreased. These results were further substantiated by DSC observations. The thermal stability of the TPVA hydrogels is enhanced. A significant variation in the initial decomposition temperature was observed with respect to different STMP crosslinked samples having varying TGlA concentration and different crosslinkers. The coupled TG-FTIR studies of crosslinked samples at different temperatures show that the evolution of sulfur-containing gases (carbon disulfide and carbon monosulfide) is being prominent for this material. |
