Polymerization in Solid Solutions of Acrylamide in Propionamide (open access)

Polymerization in Solid Solutions of Acrylamide in Propionamide

It has previously been shown that the polymer formed in solid state polymerization of acrylamide is amorphous in spite of the fact that the reaction takes place within a crystalline solid. The stage at which it becomes amorphous is not known at present. Work with dilute solid solutions of acrylamide in propionamide suggests that this occurs after the addition of, at most, a very few monomer units.
