Polymer used as a pharmaceutical aid, complexing agent, and solubilizer.

Application

• Synthesis of Controllable Superparamagnetic Nano Fe(3)O(4) Based on Reduction Method for Colloidal Clusters of Magnetically Responsive Photonic Crystals.: This study discusses the synthesis of superparamagnetic nano Fe(3)O(4) using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizing agent. The research highlights the applications of PVP in enhancing the stability and controllability of magnetic nanoparticles, which are crucial for the development of advanced photonic crystal materials (Chen et al., 2024).


• A Low-Cost Protocol Using the Adjunctive Action of Povidone-Iodine Irrigations and Sodium Hypochlorite Rinsing Solution in Step 2 of Periodontal Therapy for Patients with Stage III-IV Periodontitis: A Single-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.: This clinical trial explores the use of povidone-iodine, a form of polyvinylpyrrolidone, in periodontal therapy. The findings suggest significant improvements in patient outcomes, demonstrating the effectiveness of PVP-iodine in reducing periodontal pathogens (Kardaras et al., 2024).


• Polyvinylpyrrolidone Assisted One-Pot Synthesis of Size-Tunable Cocktail Nanodrug for Multifunctional Combat of Cancer.: This study demonstrates the role of polyvinylpyrrolidone in the synthesis of size-tunable nanodrugs for cancer treatment. The use of PVP enhances the stability and delivery efficiency of the nanodrugs, providing a promising approach for targeted cancer therapy (Wang et al., 2024).
