Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a synthetic polymer that is primarily used for its flocculation, coagulation, and viscosity-enhancing properties. The role of polyacrylamide polymer varies depending on the application, but some of its main functions include:   1. Flocculation and Coagulation: Polyacryla...

To synthesize high molecular weight polyacrylamide (PAM), you can follow the traditional method of free radical polymerization. Here's a step-by-step procedure:   1. Materials needed: Acrylamide (AM) monomer, a crosslinking agent (e.g., N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide), a free radical initiator (e....

Polyacrylamide (PAM) can be prepared via different methods, depending on the desired application and the desired properties of the polymer. Here are two common methods for the preparation of polyacrylamide:   1. Free Radical Polymerization:    - Monomer Selection: Acrylamide (CH2=CHCO...
