Variations in the diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) polymers architectures: PEG/DADMAC blocks and partially quaternarized polymers

摘要

New DADMAC-based macromolecular architectures have been prepared, varying the permanent charge distribution in the polycation structure. DADMAC and PEG-containing block copolymers with (AB)_n and ABCBA structures were synthesized via condensation together with thermal and redox radical polymerization. Polymers with a randomly reduced charge density were, on the other hand, obtained via polymer-analogous reactions based on the dequaternarization of the ammonium groups.
