Application

Vinylphosphonic acid (VPA) can be used as a monomer unit for the synthesis of poly(vinylphosphonic acid) via free radical polymerization. It is also used to develop copolymers of VPA with acrylonitrile, N-isopropylacrylamide, styrene, vinylpyrrolidone, and acrylic and methacrylic acid. These copolymers find potential application in hydrogels, drug delivery, biomimetic mineralization, and polymer electrolyte membranes in fuel cells.
It can also be used as an organic building block to prepare (E)-styryl phosphonic acid derivatives by reacting with various aryl halides via Pd-catalyzed Heck coupling reaction.

Poly(vinylphosphonic acid-co-methacrylic acid) microbeads were synthesized by suspension polymerization, and their indium adsorption properties were investigated. The obtained microbeads were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microbeads were wrinkled spheres, irrespective of the

The complex morphologies of mineralised collagen fibrils are regulated through interactions between the collagen matrix and non-collagenous extracellular proteins. In the present study, polyvinylphosphonic acid, a biomimetic analogue of matrix phosphoproteins, was synthesised and confirmed with FTIR and NMR. Biomimetic
