Polyvinylcarbazole

CAS: 25067-59-8

Overview

Polyvinylcarbazole (CAS 25067-59-8 ), also known as PVK, is a photoconductive polymer derived from N-vinylcarbazole monomer. It is used across electronics, specialty coatings, and imaging applications where controlled charge transport and film-forming properties are required.

In organic electronics, PVK functions as a hole-transport layer in OLEDs, organic photovoltaics, and photodetectors, where it supports charge carrier mobility in thin-film device stacks.

Electrophotographic and laser printing systems use it as a photoconductor in drum coatings, enabling the charge-discharge cycle that defines image resolution for high-performance printing.

Specialty optical coatings and photoresist formulations incorporate PVK to achieve UV-sensitive layers in lithographic and imaging processes. This ensures precision in advanced manufacturing.

Research and development applications in organic semiconductors rely on it as a matrix material for phosphorescent dopants and light-emitting composites. It is a staple in modern material science.

Polyvinylcarbazole is supplied as a fine powder or granules, with molecular weight grades ranging from low to high MW to suit different processing and film-formation requirements.

Technical and research-grade material is the standard commercial offering, with purity specifications typically confirmed by GPC and spectroscopic analysis to ensure consistent performance.

Packaging is available in quantities from laboratory-scale to bulk industrial supply. Our logistics network ensures that high-purity polymers are delivered safely to your facility for immediate use.
