Swelling and FTIR studies on poly vinyl alcohol/carboxymethyl cellelouse blend films

Abstract Polymers and polymeric composites have steadily reflected their importance in our 
daily life. Blending poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) with a potentially useful natural biopolymers 
such as carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) seems to be an interesting way of preparing a 
polymeric blends. The aim of the work is to blend PVA/CMC of compositions (100/0, 80/20, 
60/40, 50/50, 40/60, 20/80, and 0/100 wt/wt%) were prepared to be used as bioequivalent 
materials. The blend have been Characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ...
