General description

N-Vinylformamide is a vinyl monomer with high reactivity and water solubility. It can be used as a monomer to synthesize specialty polymers with stimuli-responsive behavior. It is biocompatible and suitable for use in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and controlled-release applications. It also finds application in the field of batteries, adhesives, coatings, biosensors, and water treatment.

Application

N-Vinylformamide can be used: ·



  • As a monomer to synthesize poly (N-vinylformamide) (PNVF) based hydrogels that can be used for controlled drug delivery.
  • To synthesize an aqueous binder for Li4Ti5O12(LTO) anodes in lithium-ion batteries. This helps to enhance the stability and specific capacity of the electrodes.
  • To fabricate biocompatible coating for medical devices.
  • To fabricate polypropylene membranes for continuous removal of organic micropollutants from water. N-vinylformamide enhances the adsorption affinity of the membrane by inducing multiple hydrophilic and hydrogen bonding sites on the surface.

pH-sensitive polyampholyte microgels of poly(acrylic acid-co-vinylamine) (P(AA-co-VAm)) were developed as an injectable hydrogel for controlled drug release. The microgels of P(AA-co-VAm) were prepared via inverse suspension polymerization of acrylic acid and N-vinylformamide followed by hydrolysis of poly(N-vinylformamide) (PNVF) chains of
