Some Aspects of the Properties and Degradation of Polyacrylamides
TL;DR: The 40 or so years of experimental work regarding the properties of acrylamide and polyacrylamides (homo-, co-, and cross-linked) are reviewed to examine, from a polymer chemist’s point of view, their likely or known degradation pathways and products.

Degradation on polyacrylamides. Part I. Linear polyacrylamide
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of linear polyacrylamides (PAAM) under thermal and irradiation conditions was investigated and it was shown that PAAm is stable under fluorescent lights and does not release any detectable acrylamide (AAM) in hot aqueous solution at 95°C.

Degradation on polyacrylamides. Part II. Polyacrylamide gels
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels, synthesized by free radical polymerization of acrylamides and N, N ′-methylenebisacryamide (BIS), was investigated when subjected to thermal and irradiation conditions.

Some Aspects of the Properties and Degradation of Polyacrylamides
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes the literature concerning the degradation of polyacrylamides via a number of pathways, including thermal, photo-, biological, chemical, and mechanical degradation.

Studies on polyimides: 2. Formation of high molecular weight poly(N-(hydroxyphenyl) maleimides)
TL;DR: In this article, a series of N-(substituted phenyl) maleimides was synthesized and their free radical chain polymerization examined, and the polymers were found to exhibit excellent thermal stability.
