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 first time to obtain 3D cross-linked polymers. The influence of temperature, pH of the medium, and organic solvents on the behavior of the synthesized copolymers was studied. The possibility of obtaining nickel nanoparticles in the bulk of the polymer gel for pyridine hydrogenation was demonstrated.
