  • What is polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a long chain, linear, water soluble polymeric substance formed from acrylamide (C 3 H 5 NO) subunits, has a high molecular weight of typically from few 1000 to 20 × 10 6 g/mol, and has a very high viscosity in aqueous solutions, depending on the concentration and the degree of polymerization (Sojka et al. 2007).
  • Is synthetic polymer a 'national wealth' of petrochemicals and technical textiles?
  • Abstract: This paper aims to explore the industrial environment of petrochemicals and technical textile in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where it links the abundant availability of synthetic polymer, as a "national wealth" of high quality and sustainability standards, with its importance in the technical textile industry.
  • Can polyacrylamide be bioremediated?
  • Although polyacrylamide (PAM) and its derivatives have many useful applications, their release in nature can have impacts on the environment and human health, thus bioremediation approaches for residual PAM are urgently needed.
  • Does Pam solvated with Fe 3+ release acrylamide?
  • It was found that PAM solvated with Fe 3+ generated ppb levels of acrylamide after exposure to sunlight under acidic conditions (pH 6). They concluded that release of acrylamide would be insignificant at low levels of iron (<0.02 mg/L) under alkaline (7.5–8.5) conditions.
