The Uses of Vinyl pivalate

Vinyl pivalate is mainly used in chemical research and industrial product preparation. It can be used to prepare high molecular weight (HMW) poly(vinyl pivalate) (PVPi) with high yield and high linearity which is a promising precursor for syndiotactic poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), vinyl pivalate (VPi) was emulsion polymerized, using 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) as an initiator and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an emulsifier^[1].

What are the applications of Application

Vinyl Pivalate is a cardinal chemical entity encompassing multifaceted dimensions within the biomedical realm. This compound is closely related to drug delivery systems, drug intermediates and polymer synthesis, and can be used in drug research for cardiovascular diseases, cancer treatment and gene therapy.
