Applications & Uses

Uses

Propionamide was used as adsorbent in the determination of adsorption isotherms of acetamide and propionamide on multi-wall carbon nanotube. It was used in a robust screening method to study biotransformations using (+)-γ-lactamase enzyme.

General Description

Propionamide on γ-irradiation reacts with sulfur dioxide and this reaction has been studied by ESR spectroscopy, gas absorption measurements and X-ray diffraction.
