Poly(vinyl alcohol) as a novel constituent to form aqueous two-phase systems with acetonitrile: Phase diagrams and partitioning experiments

In this work it is shown, for the first time, that aqueous solutions of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and acetonitrile (ACN) undergo liquid-liquid demixing and form aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). The ternary phase diagrams composed of PVA of different molecular weights, namely 9000-10,000, 13,000-23,...
