What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam)?

Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is a hydrophilic polymer which is easy to be carbonized (Choi et al., 2004). The amide group (−CONH 3) on APAM can form hydrogen bond with the uncondensed amine groups on surface of g-C 3 N 4 (Schwinghammer et al., 2014).

Can UV-initiated template polymerization prepare a novel anionic polyacrylamide with a microblock structure?

E-mail: zhl6512@126.com; Fax: +86 23 65120827; Tel: +86 23 65120827 Ultraviolet (UV)-initiated template polymerization (UTP) was used as a feasible strategy to prepare a novel anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) with a microblock structure.

Can anionic polyacrylamide be used as a mediator in environmental remediation?

Uncovering an accessible and cheap material as mediator becomes a top priority, which can potentially improve the activity of heterojunction in environmental remediation. Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is a hydrophilic polymer which is easy to be carbonized (Choi et al., 2004).

Does UV-initiated polymerization produce a new anionic flocculant TPAs with a microblock structure?

Conclusions A new anionic flocculant TPAS with the microblock structure was successfully synthesized through UV-initiated polymerization. The structure properties of TPAS was characterized by the FT-IR, 1H (13C) NMR, SEM and TG/DSC, and the results indicated that the formation of the microblock structure.

Why are anionic microblocks important in TPAs polymer chain?

The strong charge repulsion generated by the anionic microblocks contributed much to the stretch and extension of TPAS polymer chain, and therefore more active position would be exposed to capture the particles to aggregate and form large and compact flocs.

Can anionic microblocks improve the flocculation performance of high turbidity water?

Flocculation experimental results demonstrated that the anionic microblocks in the template copolymer could enhance the charge neutralization and bridging ability, and therefore an excellent flocculation performance of treating high turbidity water was observed. 1. Introduction
