  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROPHILIC POLY-N-VINYLPYRROLIDONE AND USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20120053254
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of the largest possible spherical, monodisperse polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) seed particles in the micron range by dispersion polymerisation. The particles obtained in this way represent novel starting materials for the production of macroporous polymer particles, which can in turn be employed in preparative and analytical chromatography for protein preparation. They can also be employed as base material for further reactions. The novel process for the polymerisation of N-vinylpyrrolidone, which is inexpensive to carry out, gives particles having optimised quantities, such as monodispersity, sphericity and particle diameter, which can be employed in further reactions and have advantageous, in particular improved, properties for use in chromatographic separation methods.
