General description

Poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP) is a pyridine containing polymer that is used in the surface modification by immobilizing the atoms present on the surface.

Application

PVP can be used in a variety of applications such as:
  • fabrication of antibacterial surfaces
  • development of pH sensitive systems
  • 3D molecular level ordering systems
  • anti-corrosive coatings
  • dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs)(90}

Continuous glucose measurement has improved the treatment of type 1 diabetes and is typically provided by externally powered transcutaneous amperometric sensors. Self-powered glucose sensors (SPGSs) could provide an improvement over these conventionally powered devices, especially for fully implanted long-term applications

Crosslinked, degradable derivatives of low-molecular-weight polyethylenimine (PEI) are relatively efficient and non-cytotoxic gene delivery agents. To further investigate these promising materials, a new synthetic approach was developed using a poly(4-vinylpyridine)-supported Fe(III) catalyst (PVP(Fe(III))) that provides more facile synthesis and enhanced
