Abstract: Abstract We investigated the effects of silica(SiO2) and clay nanoparticles on the tensile properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels containing borax. Clay/PVA/borax hydrogels possessed comparatively high tensile strength even at low concentrations of clay, but… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Polyelectrolyte-based electrochromic devices containing p -cyanophenylviologen and PVA-borax gel provide two different well-defined colored states (green and red). In this work, the bicolor electrochromic gel was characterized by in situ electron spin resonance (ESR)/ultraviolet–visible–near… read more here.
