General description

Poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) is a polymeric diprotic acid, which can be synthesized by free-radical polymerization of VPA. It can also be synthesized by employing vinylphosphonic acid methyl ester as a monomer, followed by saponification.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.

Application

Poly(vinylphosphonic) acid is a versatile polyelectrolyte useful in several applications: proton conductor for fuel cells, chemical and biological sensors, biocomposite materials and surface modification and adhesion.
