Biological Activity: Polyvinylimidazole (Vimdemer) is an antibacterial polymer and membrane modifier. Polyvinylimidazole can form anticancer complexes with Cadmium chloride. Polyvinylimidazole disrupts bacterial membrane structures through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, inhibits bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, thereby reducing membrane surface biofouling and enhancing the water flux recovery rate after fouling-cleaning cycles. Polyvinylimidazole exhibits broad-spectrum but selective antibacterial activity, inhibiting fungi and bacteria. Polyvinylimidazole can modify PVDF membranes, and the modified membranes inhibit bacteria in a concentration-dependent manner. Polyvinylimidazole can be used in research related to cancer, fungal and bacterial infections[1][2][3].
