Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a modified polyvinyl alcohol containing 0.1 to 10 mol % of a monomer unit represented by formula (1) below and having a degree of polymerization exceeding 2000. This provides a modified polyvinyl alcohol an aqueous solution of which foams less and which has excellent film strength and gas barrier properties under high humidity conditions, while having excellent water solubility. [In formula ( 1 ), R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.]

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A modified polyvinyl alcohol comprising 0.1 to 10 mol % of a monomer unit represented by formula (1) and having a degree of polymerization exceeding 2000 and a content of a 1,2-glycol bond in a main chain of 1.5 mol % or less: wherein, in formula (1), R 1 represents a methyl group. 2. A method for producing the modified polyvinyl alcohol according to claim 1 , comprising copolymerizing a vinyl ester monomer with a compound represented by formula (2), followed by saponification wherein, in formula (2), R 1 is a methyl group, and R 2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
