title: Determination of vicinal hydroxyl groups in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA).
abstract: An accurate procedure for the determination of 1,2-diol groups in styrene glycol and poly-(vinyl alcohol) has been demonstrated. The diols are cloven with periodate and the excess of this is determined by means of standard arsenite solution.
