In this study, we report solution and weak gel behavior of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-borax complex in aqueous solution by laser light scattering and rheometer. The experimental concentration is [PVA]=2~60 g/L, [borax]=0.0 M, 0.1 M and 0.2 M. The experiments were carried out at 25℃ and at scattering angles ranged from 30°to 120°. The frequency rang in rheometry study is from 10^-1 to 10^2 1/sec. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) data show that PVA molecules have two relaxation modes when no borax is present in aqueous solution. It is found that the amplitude of slow mode increases with PVA concentration. When PVA aqueous solutions are mixed with 0.2 M borax, the DLS data show that PVA-borax aqueous solution is solution state, while PVA concentration is lower than 20 g/L. But as PVA concentration is higher than 40 g/L, PVA/borax water system is in gel state. The dynamic rheometer data show that all the PVA-borax aqueous solutions are solution state, even PVA concentration is higher than 40 g/L with borax concentration of 0.2 M. The dynamic rheometric data reveals that PVA/borax water system behaves like a solution. We suggest that PVA/borax water system is a physical weak gel. Crosslink points which are formed by diols and borate ions in equilibrium state are ionic bonds. Crosslink points have a finite life time (τlife).
