Synthesis and characterization of novel associating water-soluble copolymers: Annual progress report, November 15, 1993-November 15, 1994

摘要

A large number of hydrophobically associating copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) or N,N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMA) with perfluoroalkyl acrylates (FOSA) containing between .01 and 1.0 mole % FOSA (with respect to DMA) were synthesized by emulsion and by bulk copolymerization. In contrast with the acrylamide (AM) FOSA copolymers the corresponding NVP and DMA copolymers are soluble in THF and CH(sub 3)OH in addition to water. This is expected to be of help in the characterization. This report discusses the synthesis, the kinetics of AM-FOSA copolymerization, and characterization.
