General description

Acrylamide is an organic compound commonly used in the synthesis of polyacrylamide, which finds application in textile, cosmetic and paper industries. Polymer of acrylamide is generally used in the preparation of electrophoretic gel for protein separation. Acrylamide is known to be formed when carbohydrate-rich food is cooked at elevated temperatures.[1][2]

Application

Acrylamide can be used:
  • In the study of its copolymerization with N-t-butyl acrylamide and N-(1,1-dimethyl-3-oxybutyl)acrylamide using Fe(III)-thiourea redox initiator.[3]
  • In the preparation of lanthanide-based functional hydrogels.[4]
