process for the production of linear, unbranched, nichvernetzten polymers based on quaternisierter polyamines

摘要

New linear, unbranched polymer materials which have in their basic structure repeating units of the formula IMAGE where the radicals R1, R2, R3, R4 and also @ m, Q and Z are each as defined in formula I of Claim 1, are prepared from a starting polymer material of the formula IMAGE where @, R1, R2 and Q are each as defined in formula II of Claim 1, which is reacted with a compound which introduces the radicals R3 and R4 by the method of N-alkylation. These polymers are useful as antimicrobial agents, flocculants, electroconductive agents for paper coating processes, antistats, chelating agents and bile acid binders; they can also be used as components for changing the electric conductivity.
