Monofilament based on polyvinyl alcohol doped with iodine
We have proposed and implemented a process of a preparation of iodine-containing monofilaments based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Sectional area of filaments preparated depend on molding tooling used. The iodine content in dry monofilament may be different because of iodine initial content in the initial iodine-containing jellies, and the amount of iodine that is added to an aqueous solution of PVA. We have defined deformation-strength characteristics of the obtained iodinated monofilaments. We have established their dependence on the composition of the spinning mass, conditions and characteristics of the formation of jelly blanks. Given the well-known antiseptic properties of iodine-containing compounds,medicine and veterinary medicineare potential applications of iodine-containing polyvinyl alcohol monofilaments.
