Polyvinyl Alcohol Market

October 2023- a foremost global sustainable manufacturer of specialty polymers and high-value biobased products derivative from pine wood pulping co-products, Kraton Corporation, is happy to launch Nexar Anti-Fog coatings and films, a solution engineered to deal with obstinate fogging problems faced by healthcare employees when utilizing personal protection equipment (PPE) such as eye protection and face shields. With thorough R&D, the company has built Nexar Anti-Fog coatings and films, providing a cutting-edge solution to the fogging issues usually linked to certain PPE. The conventional goggles and face shields are highly susceptible to fogging, leading to irritation and restricting clear vision during critical procedures. Nexar Anti-Fog technology assists healthcare workers with a brilliant solution enabling prolonged, fog-free eyewear, ensuring uncompromised visibility.

September 2023- Scientists in China have engineered a high-strength elastomer with self-healing characteristics. The polymer has significant potential in the field of flexible electronic devices. In a study published in Polymer International, researchers from a consortium of universities across Shanghai, China, have described a new poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)--based elastomer that can self-repair after damage to maintain shape and performance. The flexible polymer is a solution to a longstanding issue with the durability of flexible electronic devices. In recent years, flexible electronics have been attracting a lot of attention across multiple industries, with potential applications including flexible patch sensors to monitor blood glucose concentration and flexible energy storage devices for wearable electronics. Currently, however, the long-term stability of such materials is an issue, as Dr. Zili Li, Associate Professor at Fudan University, China, and corresponding author of the study, explained.
