General description
Poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (PVA-co-PE) is a hydrophilic biocompatible polymer that has a non-toxic nature. It has high tensile strength and good film forming ability that make it useful in the food packaging industry.
Application
PVA-co-PE can be used as a membrane in a variety of applications like filtration, biosensor and food sensors. It can also be used as a nanoporous membrane, which can potentially be used as a separator in energy vehicles and lithium ion batteries.

Ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) is one of the best known flexible thermoplastic oxygen barrier materials in use today. It is especially important for refrigerated and shelf-stable foods where oxygen deteriorates the quality of packaged products and reduces their shelf life.
