N propylamine fluka

N-n-propylacrylamide (NNPAM) was synthesized via a Schotten–Baumann reaction published by Hirano et al. [61 (link)]. For this reaction, acryloylchloride (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Munich, Germany; purity 98%), n-propylamine (Fluka, Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Munich, Germany; purity 99%), triethylamine (Grüssing GmbH Analytika, Filsum, Germany; purity 99%), and methylenechloride (p.a.) were used as received. The obtained monomer NNPAM was washed with $\mathrm{N}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}}_3$ (10 wt%) and dried over $\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}}_4$ . After filtration, the solvent was evaporated and the product was distilled in vacuum (115 °C, 10 mbar). N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM; Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Munich, Germany; purity 97%) and N-isopropylmethacrylamide (NIPMAM; Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Munich, Germany; purity 97%) were purified by recrystallization from hexane. The cross-linker N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS; Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Munich, Germany; purity 99%), the initiator ammonium persulfate (APS; Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Munich, Germany; purity ≥98%), and pyrene (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Munich, Germany; purity ≥99%) were used without further purification. For all experiments, purified water from an Arium pro VF system (Sartorius AG, Göttingen, Germany) was used.
