N-n-Propylacrylamide has been synthesized from acrylamide and n-propyl bromide. N -n Propylacrylamide was copolymerized with acrylamide at $60^{\circ}C$ in tetrahydrofuran using ${\alpha},{\alpha}'$-azobisisbutyronitrile as initiator. The synthesized monomer and copolymers have been identified by NMR and FT-lR spectrophotometer. The swelling properties of the crosslinked homopolymers were investigated at different temperatures. Three types of hydration layer around the back-bone structure of gels were determined. The thermal properties of copolymers were also measured by differential scanning calorimeter and thermogravimetry. As the amounts of N-n-propylacrylamide are increased, the enthalpic changes associated with endothermic transition and glass transition of the copolymers are decreased. As the amount of N-n-propylacrylamide is increased, the thermal stability is increased. The activation energies of thermal decomposition and dehydration for the poly (acrylamide-co-N -n-propylacrylamide) have been evaluated by Freeman and Carroll's method. As the amounts of N-n- propylacrylamide are increased, the activation energies of thermal decomposition and dehydration are increased.
