Abstract
An improved poly(vinyl acetate) which on hydrolysis and reacetylation has an intrinsic viscosity of at least about 5 dL/g and an improved poly(vinyl alcohol) which on acetylation yields poly(vinyl acetate) having an intrinsic viscosity of at least about 5 dL/g. Such poly(vinyl acetate) can be prepared by photo-initiated free radical bulk polymerization of vinyl acetate with controlled low initiator concentration, polymerization temperature and reaction time. Such poly(vinyl alcohol) can be prepared by conventional alcoholysis of the poly(vinyl acetate).
