The thermal behavior of a poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) aqueous solution (30 wt %) during a heating-and-cooling cycle is studied using FTIR spectroscopy in combination with 2D correlation analysis. The FTIR spectral data of O−H, CH3−O, and C−H stretching vibration regions provide detailed changes...
