Water-soluble materials play a key role in a wide range of industrial, scientific and domestic applications. These materials, which dissolve or degrade when in contact with water, offer innovative solutions to challenges related to sustainability, efficiency and functionality. Water-soluble materials are characterized by their ability to disperse completely or dissolve in aqueous media, usually forming homogeneous solutions. This property depends on factors such as the polarity of the molecule, the presence of hydrophilic functional groups and molecular weight. Water-soluble polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), poly(ethylene oxide), and cellulose derivatives are common examples. They are often used due to their biodegradability, non-toxicity, and versatility.
