Merck, 447331-100ML, N-Vinylformamide

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.
