Abstract In this work, a microgel was synthesized by surfactant free polymerization of 2-aminothiazol (AT) functionalized with acrylate group. The acrylation of AT was accomplished by reacting AT with acryloyl chloride and in the presence of triethylamine. The acrylated 2-aminothiazol, (Thiazol-2-yl) acrylamide (ATA), was characterized via FT-IR, TGA. The polymeric microgel obtained from this newly generated monomer was characterized by SEM, optic microscopy, FT-IR, TGA, Zeta Potential Analyzer, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Elemental Analysis, and Surface area and pore size measurement. The use of the microgel was tested for in situ Au, Ag nanoparticles preparation employing the as template. Furthermore, p(ATA) microgel's application in various field is demonstrated in environmental, biomedical and catalytic applications such as an absorbent to remove toxic species in aqueous media, drug delivery device, and as a catalyst to reduce of 4-nitrophenol. Therefore, this newly prepared microgel and its composites are promising material for many potential uses.

聚（（噻唑-2-基）丙烯酰胺），p（ATA）微凝胶：合成、表征和通用应用

摘要 在这项工作中，通过丙烯酸酯基官能化的 2-氨基噻唑 (AT) 的无表面活性剂聚合合成了微凝胶。AT的丙烯酸酯化是通过AT与丙烯酰氯在三乙胺的存在下反应来完成的。丙烯酸酯化的 2-氨基噻唑（噻唑-2-基）丙烯酰胺 (ATA) 通过 FT-IR、TGA 进行表征。从这种新生成的单体中获得的聚合物微凝胶通过 SEM、光学显微镜、FT-IR、TGA、Zeta 电位分析仪、动态光散射 (DLS)、元素分析以及表面积和孔径测量进行表征。使用微凝胶作为模板测试了原位金、银纳米颗粒的制备。此外，p(ATA) 微凝胶在各个领域的应用在环境、生物医学和催化应用，例如去除水性介质中有毒物质的吸收剂、药物输送装置，以及作为催化剂还原 4-硝基苯酚。因此，这种新制备的微凝胶及其复合材料是具有许多潜在用途的有前途的材料。
