Abstract

In this work, a series of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films with defined but varied water wettability was prepared by curing as-prepared PVA films at systematically adjusted temperatures. The polar components of surface energy (γs,p) of the resulting PVA films were calculated and correlated with the molecular configurations of their surface OH groups—free OH (OHf), trans-hydrogen bonded OH (OHt), and gauche-hydrogen bonded OH groups (OHg)—with the aid of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. By decomposing the γs,p values of the PVA films as a sum of the contributions from OHf, OHt, and OHg groups, the intrinsic γs,p components of and were calculated to be 8.0 mN m−1 and 9.8 mN m−1, respectively, which were substantially smaller than that of . This provided a thermodynamic foundation not only to rationalize the unexpectedly moderated surface hydrophilicity of PVA films but also to quantitatively predict the fHB component of hydrogen-bonded OH groups on their surfaces according to their water wettability.
