Preparation of poly(vinyl acetate) having a DMSO-like structure, and its use in accelerating penetration through paper

Abstract

Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) has been transformed into a polymer having the structure of PVAcSOMe via hydrolysis, 3-methylthiopropionylation and oxidation. The obtained PVAcSOMe copolymers have been shown to have the property of accelerating the penetration of triphenylphosphite through parchment paper.
