Preparation of Polyacrylamide Using In Situ Polymerization

Article Preview

Abstract:

A nanoSiO2/polyacrylamide (PAM) organic–inorganic nanocomposite system was prepared using acrylamide as the monomer, nanoSiO2 as the modifier, and ammonium persulfate as the initiator. The system was then used to investigate the impact of various factors, including amount of modifier and concentration of monomer, thereby determining the conditions for optimal reaction. Infrared spectroscopy was then used for structural characterization. Measurements using the viscosity method indicated that the viscosity average molecular weight of the product exceeded 1 million. Electron microscopy images showed that a good organic coating layer formed on the surface of the microspheres.
