  • What are cationic polyacrylamide copolymers?
  • Cationic polyacrylamide copolymers (PAMs) are a group of water-soluble polymers with a wide range of applications in industry, food processing, agriculture and waste management. One of the major applications for PAM is sludge dewatering in municipal waste water treatment plants (MWWTPs).
  • Are cationic polyacrylamide copolymers harmful to the environment?
  • Environ Sci Eur. 2018; 30 (1): 16. Cationic polyacrylamide copolymers (PAMs) are used for sludge dewatering in municipal waste water treatment and might enter the environment by spreading of the sludge on agricultural land. Concern has been expressed since little is known about the degradation of PAMs in soils.
  • How are polyacrylamide gels characterized?
  • Polyacrylamide gels are characterized by two parameters: total monomer concentration (%T, in g/100 ml) and weight percentage of crosslinker (%C). By varying these two parameters, the pore size of the gel can be optimized to yield the best separation and resolution for the proteins of interest.
  • What does %t mean in polyacrylamide gel?
  • %T indicates the relative pore size of the resulting polyacrylamide gel: higher %T refers to a larger polymer-to-water ratio and on average smaller pores. The practical ranges for monomer concentration are stock solutions of 30-40%, with different ratios of acrylamide monomer to crosslinker.
