Abstract
Provided is a polyvinyl alcohol having a triad isotacticity of at least 72% and an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.1 dl/g (deciliter/gram) as determined by measurement of solution viscosity in acetone at 30.degree. C. of the polyvinyl acetate obtained by acetylation thereof. The polyvinyl alcohol of the present invention has a crystalline structure different from those of conventional isotactic polyvinyl alcohols and, as a result, exhibit excellent characteristics including high crystallinity and high melting point, as well as markedly high water resistance and thermal resistance. It has use as a high-strength fiber, high-water-resistant fiber, thermally resistant fiber and thermally resistant film.
