Polyvinylcarbazole

Polyvinylcarbazole (CAS 25067-59-8), also known as PVK, is a photoconductive polymer derived from N-vinylcarbazole monomer.

Where is Polyvinylcarbazole used?

• Organic electronics: hole-transport layer in OLEDs, organic photovoltaics and photodetectors, supporting charge carrier mobility in thin-film device stacks
• Electrophotographic and laser printing: photoconductor in drum coatings, enabling the charge-discharge cycle that defines image resolution
• Specialty optical coatings and photoresist formulations: UV-sensitive layers in lithographic and imaging processes
• Research and development: matrix material for phosphorescent dopants and light-emitting composites in organic semiconductors

Commercial specifications

• Molecular weight grades from low to high MW
• Technical and research-grade material; purity confirmed by GPC and spectroscopic analysis
• Packaging from laboratory-scale to bulk industrial supply
