Computational modeling and experimental infrared spectroscopy of hydrogen bonding interactions in polyvinyl alcohol-starch blends

This study aims to investigate the hydrogen bonding interactions in polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH)–starch blends. Semi-empirical AM1 (Austin Model 1) and PM3 (Parameterized Austin Model 3) methods were employed to model the blending. Binding energies, vibrational frequencies and solubility parameters resu...
