Talk:Polyacrylamide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anybody have a citation for the salt-induced release statement at the end of the article?

Would it be possible to show some purchasing information or which companies product this substance --Frozenport 01:09, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

There are *lots* of companies selling this. Most major biotech manufactors has it. --David Munch 10:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

I actually did some graduate research somewhat related to compound uptake with polyacrylamides not too long ago, and the note about the release with salt is news to me. . . at least without a lot more of an explanation that I could take an educated guess at filling in. I also take some issue with the cancer-causing claim right after that, as I'm pretty sure it's just the acrylamide monomer that's the carcinogen if polyacrylamides are safe to be used in all the applications I've seen.

I haven't actually edited the page yet, but I'll try to add in a bunch more information that I picked up along the way when I get the chance. Captainq31 17:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IUPAC name

Should include systematic name(s). — DIV (128.250.204.118 00:45, 8 November 2007 (UTC))

As far as I can tell, poly(2-propenamide) would be reasonable for the source-based name, but I'm not sure what the structure-based name is. Something like poly(1-amidoxyethylene)? I think poly(1-carbamoylethyelene) [1] —DIV (128.250.80.15 (talk) 09:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC))
