N,N'-Methylenebisacrylamide

Main Uses

Polymer Crosslinking Agent: This is its most core application.

In the preparation of polyacrylamide gel (PAGE), it acts as a crosslinking agent to enable acrylamide to form a gel, used for the electrophoretic separation of proteins and nucleic acids (e.g., SDS-PAGE).

Used for preparing superabsorbent resins (e.g., polyacrylamide-based absorbent resins), forming a network structure through crosslinking to enhance the material's water absorption and retention capabilities.

In the field of water treatment, it is used to synthesize crosslinked polyacrylamide flocculants, enhancing their adsorption and sedimentation effects on impurities.

Adhesives and Coatings: Participates in resin polymerization to improve the bonding strength and water resistance of adhesives; increases the hardness and wear resistance of coatings.

Medical and Biomaterials: Used for preparing hydrogels (e.g., tissue engineering scaffold materials), controlling the porosity and mechanical properties of the gel by adjusting its dosage.
