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).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
