Polyacrylamide

In recent years, scientists and engineers working on environmental and industrial problems have renewed their interest in water-soluble synthetic polymers because of their very broad range of applications. This book provides, detail aspect of kinetics and mechanism of the homo and co- polymerization reactions of acrylamide on the montmorillonite surfaces by different redox systems involving the intercalated metal ions. A study of solution properties of polyacrylamide in good solvent and bad solvent mixtures has been discussed. Interesting results of investigations using montmorillonite surface as the locus of the (homo and co)polymerization reaction have been included.This book may be especially useful to the researchers in the field of polymer chemistry and even in the field of green chemistry in exploiting the tremendous catalytic potential of montmorillonite.
