Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, Poly(Ethenol)) (Mw 13000-23000, 98% hydrolyzed) , also known as PVA, is a vinyl water-soluble polymer that can be used as a non-ionic surfactant. Polyvinyl alcohol (Mw 13000-23000, 98% hydrolyzed) can also be used as a biodegradable polymer and can be used in adhesives, coatings, textiles, ceramics and cosmetics. Polyvinyl alcohol (Mw 13,000-23,000, 98% hydrolyzed) can be used in studies involving breast cancer as well as cisplatin (HY-17394)-induced sensorineural hearing loss[1][2][3][4].
