N-Vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) and its copolymers attracting much attention and have been widely investigated for applications in different field due to its low toxicity, biocompatibility and good film forming (Hemalatha et al. 2014; Anasuya; Lee et al. 2007). The amide group in NVP is highly polar, which confirms it’s hydrophilic. NVP has been copolymerized with various monomers because the amide group has high affinity for many large and small molecules that are known to be good hydrogen-bond acceptors (Jin et al. 2013; Santanakrishnan et al. 2012; Arosio et al. 2011). NVP has been copolymerized with various siloxane derivatives monomers such as vinyl triethoxy silane (Gatica et al. 2003), vinyl trimethoxy silane, vinyl trimethyl silane (Gatica et al. 1998), vinyl trichloro silane (Gatica et al. 2005). In addition, the reactivity ratios of these copolymers have been determined.
