Copolymerization of Acrylamide with Allyl-Acrylate Quaternary Ammonium Monomers

摘要

A series of copolymers of N,N-morpholine-N-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)allyl allyl ammonium chloride, N,N-morpholine-N-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)allyl allyl ammonium bromide, N,N-piperidyl-N-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)allyl allyl ammonium chloride, N,N-morpholine-N-2-(t-butoxycarbonyl)allyl allyl ammonium bromide and diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) with acrylamide (AAm) were prepared in water at 50-56°C using 2,2′-azo-bis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride (V-50). The ethyl ester monomers showed high cyclization efficiencies during copolymerizations. The tert-butyl ester derivatives showed high cross-linking tendencies. The molar fractions of allyl-acrylate monomers in the AAm: allyl-acrylate copolymers were higher than the one of DADMAC in the AAm:DADMAC copolymers. The intrinsic viscosities of the copolymers measured in 0.09 M NaCl ranged from 2.5 to 7.5 dL/g.
