Polyvinyl alcohol-based hydrogel: A systematic literature review on thermal properties by differential scanning calorimetry

Abstract

The purpose of this systematic literature review (SLR) study is to assess the importance of thermal properties and the depth of analysis on Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based hydrogel. Google Scholar is used as a search for database sources using Publish or Perish software, which is related to PVA-based hydrogel's thermal properties from 2018 to 2020. Thermal properties are focused on the DSC thermogram characteristic. These results strongly indicate that PVA-based hydrogel's thermal properties are very important and considered for their potential application.
