Abstract: The present invention provides a vinyl alcohol-amino acid ester copolymer that is excellent in properties such as cell culture properties, biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, and solubility in organic solvents, and is applicable to the medical field, the biomaterial field, and the agricultural field (medical and life science fields). Provided is a vinyl alcohol-amino acid ester copolymer including a unit represented by the following formula (1) and a unit represented by the following formula (2): where, in the formula (2), R1 represents a hydrocarbon group that may optionally have a substituent, R2 and R3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group, and R1 and R2, or R2 and R3, may optionally be bonded together to form a cyclic structure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a vinyl alcohol-vinyl acetate copolymer having excellent solubility and capable of providing a film having high flexibility, high mechanical strength, and high adhesion, and a method for producing a vinyl alcohol-vinyl acetate copolymer. Provided is a vinyl alcohol-vinyl acetate copolymer including a unit of vinyl alcohol and a unit of vinyl acetate, the vinyl alcohol-vinyl acetate copolymer having a triad unit chain ratio TOO of 7.5 or less, where the triad unit chain ratio TOO is obtained using the following formula (1): [ Math .
