Abstract Aging of aqueous solutions of poly (vinyl alcohol) obtained by melting of gels, formed in the aging process from solutions prepared by the dissolution of the polymer in hot water, was investigated using non-Newtonian viscometry and normal stress measurement. It was shown that, if the gels undergo melting at the same temperature at which the original solutions were prepared, aging of such solutions proceeds in the same way as in the case of the original solutions. If melting occurred due to heating at lower temperature, the resulting solutions aged more quickly.
