Polymers prepared from a vinylcarbazole or a substituted vinylcarbazole or both in admixture (source-based polymer class name).
Notes: - A typical polyvinylcarbazole is poly(N-vinylcarbazole) that is usually prepared by a radical or a coordination chain polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole.
- Polyvinylcarbazoles are photoconducting polymers that transport charge carriers via carbazolyl pendant groups. They found wide applications, for example, in xerographic photocopying.
