Nanocatalytic Systems Based on Poly(ethylene glycol maleate)–Acrylamide Copolymers

Abstract

The radical copolymerization of poly(ethylene glycol maleate) with acrylamide was performed for the fi rst time to obtain 3D cross-linked polymers. The infl uence of temperature, pH of the medium, and organic solvents on the behavior of the synthesized copolymers was studied. The possibility of obtaining nickel nanopar-ticles in the bulk of the polymer gel for pyridine hydrogenation was demonstrated.
