Aim\ To synthesize polyacrylamide(PAM) by precipitation polymerization. Methods\ Polyacrylamide was synthesized to adopt static polymerization condition and the pattern of feeding initiator in batch
acetone as solvent
BPO N
N dimethylaniline as redox initiator. The influence of each factor on the relative molecular weight and properties of PAM is discussed. Results\ The powdery PAM having good water solubility was obtained
its relative molecular weight was over 900
000. Conclusion \ The powdery PAM having good water solubility is synthesized directly by precipitation polymerization. The concentration of initiator and temperature of polymerization were important factors on the relative molecular weight of PAM.
