Conductive polymers are polymers that conduct electricity like metal conductors. Unlike typical organic polymers, they are polymers that have the electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of metals or semiconductors. For Example, these conductive polymers include Polypyrrole (PPy), Polyaniline (PANI), and Polythiophene (PT). On the other hand, Insulating polymers do not conduct electricity well while providing insulation, which is the opposite of conductivity. With the exception of conductive polymers, most polymers are non-conductors. Insulating polymers include polyimide (PI), polystyrene (PS), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl). Although many different polymers exist, we have simply illustrated the properties and recent developments of conductive and insulating polymers, which have opposite properties.

We have investigated the properties of poly (vinyl alcohol)-film obtained by casting from the solution PVA/electrolytes (NaCl, KCl, MgCl$_2$, CaCl$_2$)/water systems at room temperature. The removed electrolytes films have got high crystallinity as well as high draw ratio. The removed electrolytes films had layer-structure while a film without electrolytes didn't have it. A relation between draw ratio and thickness or number of layers, were recognized.

Recently, people are gradually concerned about environmental issue, bionics, environmental-friendly or biocompatible materials. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is suitable for these materials, because it is typically water-soluble polymer that have linear-flexible chains, a material of no toxicity for human, and biodegradable polymer[1]. One of the most effective factors that dominate the properties of PVAs is tacticity. (omitted)

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is useful for biomaterials such as contact lens, drug delivery system, and biological tissues, because of good biocompatibility and no toxicity. Particularly, hydrogels have unique position in biomaterial fields because of their high water contents.[1-2] Because atactic PVA (a-PVA) is very weak in water, a-PVA need to be chemically crosslinked with crosslinking agent such as glutaradehyde to prepare PVA hydrogels with high water-resistance and good physical properties.[3] (omitted)

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composite films were prepared by casting a DMSO solution of PVA and MWNTs, whereby the MWNTs were dispersed by sonication. A significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the PVA drawn films was achieved by the addition of a small amount of MWNTs. The initial modulus and the tensile strength of the PVA drawn film increased by 30 % and 45 %, respectively, with the addition of 1 wt% MWNTs, which are close to those calculated from the rule of mixtures, and were strongly dependent upon the orientation of the PVA matrix. The mechanical properties, however, were not improved with a further increase in the MWNT content. The orientation of MWNTs in the composite was not well developed compared to that of the PVA matrix. This result suggests that the improvement of the molecular orientation of the PVA matrix plays a major role in the increase of the mechanical propeties of the drawn PVA/MWNT composite films.

폴리비닐알콜(Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA))은 매우 넓은 온도 범위에서 물에 쉽게 용해될 수 있는 친수성 고분자로 우수한 생체적합성을 가진 합성고분자 중에 하나이다[1]. 이러한 PVA는 단량체의 호변이성질화로 인하여 대부분 알데하이드 형태로 존재하기 때문에 비닐에스테르계열의 단량체를 중합하여 비누화시켜 제조하는 것이 일반적인 방법으로 알려져있다[2]. 최근 생체적합성을 가진 합성고분자에 대한 관심이 부각되면서 PVA에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는데, 이는 PVA가 다른 합성고분자에 비하여 비교적 구조가 간단하고, 또한, 측쇄에 존재하는 수산기에 의하여 다양한 물성을 나타내기 때문이다.

최근 입자를 이용한 색전술의 재료로서 광범위하게 사용되는 폴리비닐알코올(poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)) 입자는 전형적인 혼성배열(atactic)이다[1]. 제조된 PVA 입자가 고내구성 및 혈액내에서 안정성을 나타내기 위해서는 중합된 PVA 입자의 분자량 뿐만 아니라 교대배열성(syndiotacticity)도 커야 한다. 교대배열기(sydiotactic group)를 풍부하게 함유하고 있는 고분자량의 PVA를 제조하기 위해서는 고분자량의 교대배열성 전구체가 얻어지도록 입체장애를 일으키는 에스테르기를 보유하고 있는 단량체를 사용하거나 중합방법을 개선하는 것이 필요하다.
