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.

Perfluorosulfonic Acid Membranes for Fuel Cell and Electrolyser Applications

Advances in the electrochemical conversion of water to and from hydrogen and oxygen have principally been achieved through the development of new materials and by understanding the mechanisms of the degradation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) during operation.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
