Copolymerization of the poly(N,N-dimethyl-N,N-diallylammonium chloride) macromonomer with acrylamide

Copolymers of the poly(N,N-dimethyl-N,N-diallylammonium chloride) macromonomer (1′) with acrylamide (2) with a high content of cationic groups (up to 50%) were synthesized. The relative activities r 1′ and r 2 were calculated. The relative activities calculated by the Kelen—Tudos (r 1′ = 0.057±0.009, r 2 = 1.57±0.12) and Feynman—Ross (r 1′ = 0.055±0.011, r 2 = 1.58±0.14) methods are in accordance. The intrinsic viscosity and the yield of copolymers were found to decrease with an increase in the molar fraction of macromonomer 1′ in the monomer mixture.
