General description

Methacrylamide is a functional monomer used inthe preparation of thermo-sensitive hydrogels, polymer latexes, and self-etchingprimers with a longer shelf life. It can also be used to prepare dispersionsuspensions to synthesize biocompatible HA/sol-gel glass mixtures.

Application

  • Synthesis of non-fouling poly brushes by photoinduced SET-LRP: This study highlights the use of photoinduced SET-LRP for the polymerization of methacrylamide, emphasizing its efficiency and the quality of the resulting polymers for non-fouling applications (M Vorobii, A de los Santos Pereira, 2015).
  • Hydrolytic stability of methacrylamide and methacrylate in gelatin methacryloyl: The study investigates the hydrolytic stability of methacrylamide within gelatin methacryloyl, highlighting its stability and potential in biomedical applications (J Zheng, M Zhu, G Ferracci, NJ Cho, 2018).
  • Two-step mechanisms of tumor selective delivery of N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide copolymer conjugated with pirarubicin via an acid-cleavable linkage: This paper discusses the development of a copolymer conjugate for targeted cancer therapy, showcasing a two-step mechanism for enhanced drug delivery (H Nakamura, T Etrych, P Chytil, M Ohkubo, 2014).
  • Backbone Degradable N-(2-Hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide Copolymer Conjugates with Gemcitabine and Paclitaxel: The research focuses on degradable copolymer conjugates for delivering cancer therapeutics, noting significant effects on tumor reduction and highlighting the impact of molecular weight (J Yang, R Zhang, H Pan, Y Li, Y Fang, 2017).

Among the class of zwitterionic polymers poly(carboxybetaine)s (poly(CB)s) are unique, emerging as the only ultra-low fouling materials known allowing the preparation of biosensors, fouling resistant nanoparticles, and non-adhesive surfaces for bacteria. Poly(carboxybetaine methacrylate) and poly(carboxybetaine acrylamide) have been prepared via

Nanoparticles exhibiting favorable surface-to-volume ratios create efficient stationary phases for electrochromatography. New nanomaterials derived from chitosan (CS) were immobilized onto modified capillaries for use as the chiral stationary phase (CSP) in open-tubular electrochromatography. This immobilization was achieved through the copolymerization

A novel cationic polymer poly(N,N-dimethyl-N-[3-(methacroylamino) propyl]-N-[2-[(2-nitrophenyl)methoxy]-2-oxo-ethyl]ammonium chloride) is synthesized by free-radical polymerization of N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] methacrylamide and subsequent quaternization with o-nitrobenzyl 2-chloroacetate. The photolabile o-nitrobenzyl carboxymethyl pendant moiety is transformed to the zwitterionic carboxybetaine form upon the irradiation at 365 nm.
