General description

2-Acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonicacid (AMPS) is a reactive and hydrophilic monomer that belongs to the class of sulfonic acid acrylic monomers. It is used in the synthesis of various polymers such as poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid-CO-acrylic acid), poly(acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid-co-acrylicacid), and poly(acrylic acid-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid). These polymers are used in a wide range of applications, such as textiles, flocculants, dispersants, scale control agents, personal care products, water treatment, oil fields, and emulsion coatings. AMPS has an ionic character due to the sulfonic acid group, which is valuable for applications such as ion exchange, flocculation, and water treatment.[1][2][3][4][5]

Application

2-Acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid can be used as a monomer:
  • In the synthesis of polyampholyte hydrogels for Potential Biomedical Applications, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, antibacterial and antifouling materials.
  • To graft bacterial cellulose membranes for fuel cell applications. AMPS potentially improves the proton conductivity and fuel cell application of the bacterial cellulose membranes.
  • In the preparation of a superabsorbent hydrogel. The presence of AMPS enhances the superabsorbent properties, which are important for applications such as wastewater treatment, wound healing medical devices, and agriculture.
  • In the formation of a polyelectrolyte with enhanced electrochemical properties for supercapacitor applications.

The development and analysis of a microfluidic sample preconcentration system using a highly ion-conductive charge-selective polymer [poly-AMPS (2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid)] is reported. The preconcentration is based on the phenomenon of concentration polarization which develops at the boundaries of the poly-AMPS with

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. 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

  2. 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.
