Polyacrylamide is a versatile water-soluble polymer that finds widespread applications in various industrial and environmental processes. It works primarily due to its high molecular weight and functional groups, specifically in terms of its ability to flocculate, or coagulate, particles and enhance...

The degree of hydrolysis of polyacrylamide refers to the extent to which the acrylamide monomers in the polymer have undergone hydrolysis. Polyacrylamide can be partially hydrolyzed, resulting in the formation of both acrylamide and acrylic acid units within the polymer chain. The degree of hydrolys...
