OBJECTIVES

  • Prepare PVOH films for Acetylation Reactions

Acetylation Reaction Protocol & Film Preparation

  • In 10mL beaker, weigh out ~ 1.0 grams PVOH (MW 22K)
  • Then, using a graduated cylinder add ~ 5 mL H2O to the beaker
  • After adding and combining PVOH (MW 22K) in a small beaker with H2O, add a stir bar and prepare to stir solution
  • On hot plate, stir and heat beaker solutions at 70-80°C for ~ 12 min or until PVOH dissolves
  • Once PVOH solids thoroughly dissolve in solution, add a small portion of acetic acid (HoAc)
  • In addition, add ~2 drops of HCl to the solution and continue to stir for an hour
  • Allow the solution to cool and prepare for titration

REPEAT STANDARD PROCEDURE ABOVE FOUR TIMES

PVOH Mass (g) Acetic Acid (mL) Hydrochloric Acid (drops)

1.0043 0.26 2
1.0052 0.52 2
1.0027 0.78 2
