Polyvinylimidazole (Cat No.: M010978) is a synthetic polymer composed of repeating imidazole-containing vinyl monomers. Known for its strong chelating ability and pH-responsive behavior, PVI serves as a versatile material in various applications, including catalysis, water treatment, drug delivery, and biosensors. The imidazole groups enable binding to metal ions and biomolecules, making PVI useful for enzyme immobilization and biomedical research. Its solubility in water and tunable functional properties also support its role in designing smart materials and responsive polymeric systems.
