Product Description

Poly(Allyl Amine), Mw 15,000

Poly(allyl amine) (PAA, PAH) is a cationic polymer with a high density of reactive primary amine groups. It has the ability to modify surfaces and provide cationic character that allows the user to selectively attract negatively charged functional groups to the coated surface.

Key Properties

  • Polymer type: Poly(allyl amine) (PAA, PAH)
  • Functional groups: Primary amines (high density)
  • Charge character: Cationic
  • Average molecular weight (Mw): 15,000
  • Typical use: Research and development applications

Applications

  • Biomedical and Drug Delivery: Utilized in gene delivery systems and as a functional coating for nanoparticles.
  • Polyelectrolyte Complexation: Used in layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly for coatings and nanocapsules.
  • Water Treatment: Functions as a flocculant and coagulant for negatively charged contaminants.
  • Adhesion Promoter: Improves adhesion to negatively charged surfaces, including biomaterials and composites.

FAQs

Common questions about Poly(Allyl Amine), Mw 15,000.

  • What is Poly(Allyl Amine) (PAA, PAH)?

    Poly(allyl amine) is a cationic polymer with a high density of primary amine groups. These amines can help modify surfaces and support attraction to negatively charged functional groups.

  • Why is Poly(Allyl Amine) used for surface modification?

    Its cationic character and reactive primary amine groups can help the polymer interact with negatively charged functional groups, supporting coating and surface modification approaches.

  • What does “Mw 15,000” mean?

    Mw refers to the average molecular weight of the polymer. Molecular weight can influence solution behavior, coating formation, and performance in polyelectrolyte systems, depending on conditions.

  • What is layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly?

    Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a method used to build coatings by alternating deposition of oppositely charged polymers. Poly(allyl amine) is commonly used as a cationic component in these systems.

  • What types of applications is this polymer used in?

    This polymer is used in applications including gene delivery systems, nanoparticle functional coatings, polyelectrolyte complexation (LbL coatings and nanocapsules), water treatment studies, and adhesion promotion to negatively charged surfaces.
