What fluids are used in Polyacrylamide flocculants?

Producers of polyacrylamide flocculants have been relying on Exxsol™ D80, D95, D100 and D110 fluids for years to formulate their water treatment products. These Exxsol dearomatized fluids provide high chemical and oxidative stability and inertness to enable predictable performance during the reverse polymerization process.

Why is microfluidic technology important for polyacrylamide synthesis?

Microfluidic technology for polyacrylamide synthesis has seen a significant growth in various fields. High reproducibility, real-time control and reduction of waste are the main factors that push users to switch from conventional batch methods to microfluidics.

Can polyacrylamide be used as a biomaterial?

Due to their high water content, polyacrylamide is also highly amenable for use as biomaterial that can be in contact with tissue or biological fluids as implants, soft contact lenses, and drug delivery particle systems.

Can polyacrylamide beads be surface functionalized?

Polyacrylamide beads can be readily surface functionalized and have been recently used in a wide range of microencapsulation applications including RNA capture, drug encapsulation, controlled release, and enzyme immobilization. Microfluidic technology for polyacrylamide synthesis has seen a significant growth in various fields.

How can we produce polyacrylamide particles?

By precisely controlling the formation of the bead, we can produce polyacrylamide particles with well-defined sizes, shapes and morphologies. The schematics below showcases the flow focusing microfluidic method example from our application note.

What is a polyacrylamide hydrogel?

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a type of hydrogel consisting of a loosely cross-linked acrylamide structure that can hold large amount of water.
