Polyacrylamide is an acrylate polymer formed from acrylamide subunits that is readily cross-linked. It is highly water-absorbent, forming a soft gel used in such applications as polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and in manufacturing soft contact lenses.
Polyacrylamide is a neurotoxin and needs to be handled using Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) to avoid poisoning.
