This study presents the fabrication process and display characteristics of a flexible organic polymer display device that consists of a thin substrate of Polyether Sulfone, a multilayer serpentine-type microheater array that is fabricated on the substrate, and a UV-sensitive polydiacetylene (PDA)-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite film. A retention time of one second is achieved with cell sizes ...

This investigation evaluates the effectiveness of UV-365 nm/S2O8 2process in degrading polyvinyl alcohol in aqueous solutions. The effects of pH, Na2S2O8 dosage, and temperature on the degradation efficiency of polyvinyl alcohol were studied. Under acidic conditions, the degradation efficiency of polyvinyl alcohol exceeded that under alkaline conditions. Additionally, a higher Na2S2O8 dosage an...

Experimental studies have shown that the nonpolar molecule 4,4'-diamino-stilbene (DAS) in polyvinyl alcohol) film (PVA) at 296 K, apart from fluorescence displays phosphorescence whose intensity differs only slightly from that observed at 84 K. The overlapping of fluorescence and phosphorescence bands is the reason of the unusual behaviour of the emission anisotropy in the longwave absorption a...

background polyvinyl alcohol (pva) is one of the well-known polymers, which has been used in numerous biomedical applications because of its good biocompatibility. objectives due to problems made by the therapeutics already used for leishmaniasis, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pva containing artemether in treating cutaneous leishmaniasis in balb/c mice. materials and metho...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to insert nitrofurazone in a chitosan membrane to be used as a wound dressing.   materials and methods: several blend films using chitosan (cs) and polyvinyl alcohol (pva), containing nitrofurazone were prepared by means of casting/solvent evaporating technique. different characteristics such as mechanical properties, water vapor transmission rate (wvtr),...

The Poly (vinyl alcohol)/Kefirane nanofiber membrane was successfully fabricated for the firsttime using electrospinning of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Kefirane blend solution. Scanningelectron microscope (SEM), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATRFT-IR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize the electrospunPoly (vinyl alcohol)/Kefiran...

We demonstrated ultrathin foldable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by using dielectric-metal-dielectric (DMD) electrode and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) substrate. The DMD containing a thin metal layer suppresses waveguide mode formation help efficiency improvement, the spin-coated PVA film forms an substrate for OLEDs ~ 1 μm.
