Physical and Chemical Properties | The properties of p-divinylbenzene (DVB) consist of a benzene ring connecting two vinyl groups. It is connected to styrene (vinyl benzene) by adding a second vinyl. It is a colorless liquid made by thermal dehydrogenation of isomeric diethylbenzene. Under synthetic conditions, o-divinylbenzene can be converted into naphthalene, so it is not a component of general DVB mixtures. |
Use | Applications p-divinylbenzene DVB can be cross-linked with styrene/vinyl chloride and combined with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to form a novel microporous nanocomposite material for water body remediation. It can also be combined with polyethylene glycol diacrylate to form a bond with polyethylene oxide (PEO), which can be used as an electrolytic material for lithium batteries. |
