Abstract

Polyamidoamines (PAAs) are synthetic polymers carrying amide- (a) and tert-amine (b) groups regularly arranged along the polymer chain according to the sequences …a…a…b…b… or …a…a…b…. They are prepared by Michael polyaddition of primary or secondary amines to bisacrylamides (Scheme 1) (Danusso and Ferruti, 1970; Ferruti, 1996; Ferruti et al., 1985). The PAAs are endowed with a combination of properties that make them appealing for practical applications, particularly in the biotechnological field.
