Recent Applications of Polyacrylamide as Biomaterials Tsung-Hua Yang* Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Cheng Shiu University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Republic of China
Polyacrylamide (PAM)-based hydrogel has many applications in the biomedical fields, drug delivery, and biosensor fluids in recent years (Tsou et al., 2016). Contact lense is the most important field that PAM has been used due to its bioinert and hydrophilic properties ( Darnell et al., 2013; Fernández et al., 2005 ).

The synthetic polymer, polyacrylamide derived from acrylamide monomer, was originally introduced for use as a support matrix for electrophoresis in 1959. L...
Polymeric Biomaterials for Medical Implants and Devices
In this review article, we focus on the various types of materials used in biomedical implantable devices, including the polymeric materials used as substrates and for the packaging of such devices. Polymeric materials are used because of the ease of fabrication, flexibility, and their biocompatible nature as well as their wide range of mechanical, electrical, chemical, and thermal behaviors
Engineering of Biomaterials for Drug Delivery Systems: Beyond Polyethylene Glycol examines the combined issues of PEGylation and viable biomaterials as alternatives. With a strong focus on polymeric biomaterials, the book first reviews the major issues associated with PEGylation and its use in vivo.
Polyacrylamide Market for Water Treatment, Oil & Gas
Polyacrylamide increases the viscosity of water and is widely used in petroleum applications across the world to enhance oil recovery. It is employed as a binder for pulp fibers in the paper
Biomaterials as we know them today had their origins in the late 1940s with off-the-shelf commercial polymers and metals. The evolution of materials for medical applications from these simple origins has been rapid and impactful. This review relates some of the early history; addresses concerns after two decades of development in the twenty-first century; and discusses how advanced

- Is polyacrylate more recalcitrant to biodegradation than amide?
- The carbon backbone, polyacrylate, is more recalcitrant to biodegradation than the amide moieties. There are nevertheless reports on microbial growth with polyacrylamide and polyacrylate as the carbon sources.
- How is polyacrylamide biodegradable?
- Both single microbial species as well as mixed populations have been investigated for degradation. Biodegradation of polyacrylamide begins with amidase catalysed deamination of polyacrylamide to ammonia and polyacrylate. The liberated ammonia is then used as a nitrogen source for growth by the microbes.
- Are polyacrylates recalcitrant to degradation?
- Remaining polyacrylates are more recalcitrant to degradation. Polyacrylamide degradation has mainly been reported for aerobic bacteria. With fungi the degradation is initiated by secreted lignin degrading oxidases. Polyacrylamide may be degraded to acrylamide anaerobically, but not aerobically.
- Can soil microbes degrade polyacrylate and acrylamide copolymer?
- The biodegradation of insoluble polyacrylate and polyacrylate-acrylamide copolymer by soil microbes and P. chrysosporium was studied using similar methodology. Soil microbes alone were able to degrade the polymers only poorly and were unable to mineralize them.
