Description General description N-Propylacrylamide is an acrylate monomer used in the synthesis of poly(N-n-propylacrylamide). Similar to PNIPAM, poly(N-n-propylacrylamide) (PNnPAM) is a temperature-responsive polymer known to undergo sharp thermal phase transitions (LCST). This “smart” behaviour has led to its use in a wide variety of biomedical applications such as photonics, surface modification, and nanoparticle containers for drug uptake and release.
