Acrylamide monomer

a·cryl·a·mide (

-kr

-m

)

A readily polymerized amide, C₃H₅NO, derived from acrylic acid and used in synthetic fibers and sewage treatment. It is a carcinogen and is present in some foods, especially starches and cereals that are cooked at high temperatures.

[acryl(ic acid) + amide.]

acrylamide (

-kr

-m

)

A chemical compound that is derived from acrylic acid and easily forms polymers. Acrylamide is used in synthetic fibers and sewage treatment and as a medium in electrophoresis, especially to separate macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Chemical formula: C₃H₅NO.
