9-Vinylcarbazole is used as a monomer in the production of poly(vinylcarbazole), a conductive polymer, in which conductivity is photon-dependent. It is also used in the photoreceptors of photocopiers.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
