Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a versatile synthetic polymer, is useful in both laboratory and industrial settings. This water-soluble polymer exhibits a wide range of applications, serving as a stabilizing agent, emulsifier, suspending agent, film-forming agent, protective colloid, and binder. Moreover, Polyvinylpyrrolidone acts as a beneficial additive in enhancing the properties of plastics and elastomers. Its protective colloid properties also make it invaluable in stabilizing proteins, enzymes, and other biological substances. Additionally, Polyvinylpyrrolidone can be used to form films, coatings, tablets, and capsules. It contributes to the production of polymeric nanomaterials and serves as a surfactant in preparing micelles and microemulsions.
