Abstract

Non-toxic, water soluble compositions of high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide), propylene glycol, water, and stabilizer allow the thermoplastic processing of high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) to proceed more facilely without extensive polymer decomposition. The compositions can be used to produce shaped articles such as films or tubes; they can also be used as a denture adhesive.
