Abstract

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a medically active polymer. A systematic study of normal modes of vibration and their dispersions in syndiotactic PVA (sPVA) has been reported by using Urey–Bradley force field (UBFF) and Wilson’s GF matrix method as modified by Higgs. It provides detailed interpretation of IR and Raman spectra. Characteristic feature of dispersion curves such as regions of high density of states, repulsion and character mixing of dispersion modes is discussed. Predictive values of heat capacity as a function of temperature between 0 and 500 K have been evaluated.
