  • What is a polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • 1. Introduction Polyacrylamides (PAM) are high molecular weight polymers deriving from the polymerization of acrylamide monomers. Their chemical composition and ionic character depend on the functional groups added to the acrylamide chemical moiety ( Abidin et al., 2012; Acharya et al., 2010 ).
  • Are polyacrylamides safe?
  • McCollister, in 1965, established the safety of polyacrylamides in the public health aspect for many applications wherein small amounts may possibly occur in the food or drink of animals or human subjects . Those results were confirmed recently by Hensen et al. and Farkas et al. on marine fish species.
  • What are acrylamide and polyacrylamide used for?
  • Acrylamide and polyacrylamide (PAM) are used in diverse industrial processes, mainly the production of plastics, dyes, and paper, in the treatment of drinking water, wastewater, and sewage. Besides inorganic form, acrylamide is formed naturally in certain starchy foods that were heated to cook a temperature above 120 °C for elongated time.
  • What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam)?
  • 1. Introduction Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is a kind of organic high-molecular polymer with high hydrophilicity and viscosity, which is easily dissolved in water [ , , ].
