In this paper, blend of tea polyphenols (TP)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was prepared by solution casting relating to different ratios. By using FTIR, UV, DSC and contact angle measurement, the blend was studied relating to its intermolecular interactions, miscibility, water absorption and, surface properties and UV protection.
