Abstract

Acrylamide polymers having remarkably high molecular weights can be obtained by polymerizing acrylamide or a monomer mixture comprising a preponderant quantity of acrylamide in an aqueous medium with the use of a specific redox initiator and a specific azo compound initiator. The polymerization initiator used in this porcess comprises a combination of a persulfate, formaldehyde sodium sufoxylate and 2,2'-azobis-2-amidinopropane.
