polyacrylamide an overview manufacturer from Canada
Abstract. Contact angles and surface tension data were measured to obtain the surface tension components of polyacrylamide (PAM). According to Van Oss, Chaudhury, and Good (VCG) theory, the surface tension components were used to calculate the PAM solubility in five different polar solvents: water, ethylene glycol (EG), acetone, ethanol, and dimethyl formamide (DMF).
The comparative study of the thermodynamic solubility of PAN in five solvents led to the following conclusions: the thermodynamic solubility of PAN, characterized by the experimental and calculated cloud point curves, differ significantly for two kinds of solvents: organic aprotic and inorganic aqueous solution of NaSCN; the solubility of PAN in an aqueous solution of NaSCN is much higher than
