The invention provides a preparation method of polyacrylamide for an incense making adhesive. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, mixing acrylamide, acrylic acid, chitosan and deionized water to obtain a monomer solution A; S2, mixing methyl methacrylate, styrene, monomethyl fumarate and ethanol to obtain a monomer solution B; S3, mixing the monomer solution A and the monomersolution B, adding polyethylene and urea, and adjusting pH to be 5.5-6.5; S4, cooling to the temperature of 0-4 DEG C, introducing nitrogen and displacing oxygen, and then adding a DMAP catalyst anda chain extender; S5, heating to the temperature of 10-15 DEG C, and adding a cross-linking agent, a chain transfer agent, a reducing agent and an oxidizing agent into the mixture every 3 min; S6, heating to the temperature of 75-85 DEG C, carrying out heat-insulation reaction for 1-1.5 h, taking out an adhesive, adding caustic soda, hydrolyzing at the temperature of 80-90 DEG C for 1-2 h, and drying, crushing, granulating and carrying out secondary drying to obtain the final product. The polyacrylamide prepared by the invention has certain hydrophobic and water-resistant performance, the molecular weight reaches 30,000,000, and the polyacrylamide has the advantages of strong adhesive force, low moisture absorption rate, corrosion resistance and antibiosis, environmental protection and nopollution after combustion, and the like.
