  • What is copper-catalyzed controlled polymerization of acrylamide?
  • Copper-catalyzed controlled polymerization of acrylamide (AM) has always been a challenge, which typically exhibits low monomer conversion and broad molecular weight distribution (MWD) or requires complex/multistep reaction procedures, due to the highly active nature of the AM radical and its side reactions.
  • How to improve degradable polyacrylamide or hydro soluble polymers?
  • From a chemical point of view, one of the most interesting processes to obtain improved degradable polyacrylamide or hydro soluble polymers is the initiation of polymerization with Ce 4+ ions using an alcohol as reducing agent.
  • Does polyacrylamide depolymerize on acrylamide monomer?
  • Indeed, King et al. and Smith et al. confirmed the innocuity of polyacrylamide, whereas acrylamide monomer is classified as neurotoxic. In another study led on polyacrylamide used in agriculture, Anh et al. showed that polyacrylamide does not depolymerize on toxic acrylamide monomer, despite a misleading title .
  • How can we improve the production process of polyacrylamides?
  • With a close look at the manufacturing process of polyacrylamides, it is possible to identify the main CO 2 -emitting stages (drying, for instance) and work at improving the reaction and process efficiencies and the recovery of heat for further use, for example.
