Introduction of Polyacrylamide Particles
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a type of hydrogel, which is composed of a loosely cross-linked acrylamide structure. Due to the ability to hold a large amount of water, the PAM has been widely used as a biomaterial for various applications, such as soft contact lenses, implants, and drug delivery particle systems. In addition, because of its easy surface functionalization, it has recently been used in various microencapsulation applications, including enzyme immobilization, controlled release, RNA capture, and drug encapsulation.
Microfluidic-based Polyacrylamide Particles
Nowadays, the growing need for specific polyacrylamide particles becomes more dominant. As a novel technology, the microfluidic provides a method for the production of polyacrylamide particles in sizes ranging from 20 to 220 µm. Using microfluidic devices, discrete objects, such as particles and cells, can be loaded to polyacrylamide soft deformable beads, which is necessary for chemical and biological assays.

Some studies showed that the polyacrylamide particle structure allows the transfer and exchange of growth materials via the nanopores. The beads’ size can largely impact the cell growth speed and drug/agrochemicals degradation speed. Recently, the polyacrylamide-based hydrogel particles (PHPs) have been used in oil recovery applications due to their special swelling and dissolving properties. In addition, the PAM gel particle temporary plugging agent has a certain salt tolerance.
