Dear Wakas Ahmed,

if you look to the kinetics equation you will recognize the different parameters you should play on to increase the MW. Among which the initiator concentration. Reduce it and you will endup with higher MW. Regards

Hi Waqas,

Please read this paper , which I think would help you to synthesize the PVA

"Synthesis of high-molecular-weight poly(vinyl alcohol) with high yield by novel one-batch suspension polymerization of vinyl acetate and saponification"

DOI 10.1007/s00396-002-0691-2

Dear Abdelkader BOUAZIZ

Do you mean initiator concentration as catalyst?

Dear all,

firstable, one should recognize the difference between an initiator and a catalyst. The first is consumed by the reaction and it will be part of the end product, whereas, the second promotes the reaction without being consumed, and in most cases it must eliminated. Regards
