General description
Butvar® B-98 is a polyvinyl butyral resin for thin film support. It is stronger and stickier than Formvar. Butvar® B-98 is used in electron microscopy as a support film. The film is mechanically stable, electron transparent and has minimum intrinsic structure.
Application
Butvar® B-98 has been used for the coating of the nickel grids, used in transmission electron microscopy for mounting the samples.

A variety of adhesive support-films were tested for their ability to adhere various biological specimens for transmission electron microscopy. Support films primed with 3-amino-propyl triethoxy silane (APTES), poly-L-lysine, carbon and ultraviolet-B (UV-B)-irradiated carbon were tested for their ability to adhere
