Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composition contains ethylenically unsaturated quaternary ammonium cations with acetate counterions, where each of the ethylenically unsaturated ammonium cations contain only one non-aromatic carbon-carbon double bond and the composition contains less than one mole-percent chloride relative to quaternary ammonium cations can be polymerized to form a cationic polymer acetate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a cationic polymer from a composition comprising ethylenically unsaturated quaternary ammonium cations with acetate counterions where each of the ethylenically unsaturated ammonium cations contain only one non-aromatic carbon-carbon double bond and the composition contains less than one mole-percent chloride relative to quaternary ammonium cations, the method comprising polymerizing the ethylenically unsaturated quaternary ammonium cations by free radical polymerization of the carbon-carbon double bond so as to produce a cationic polymer having quaternary ammonium pendant functionality with acetate counterions; wherein the mole ratio of ethylenically unsaturated quaternary ammonium cations to acetate anions is in a range of 1:0.9 to 1:1.1 at a pH of 8; wherein the unsaturated ammonium cations contain only one non-aromatic carbon-carbon double bond; wherein the ethylenically unsaturated quaternary ammonium cations have the structure of Formula I: where A is CH 2 , B is hydrogen; and C is of Formula III, where Formula III is: where R 7 -R 11 are hydrogen. 2. A cationic polymer having multiple quaternary ammonium pendant functionalities with acetate counterions, wherein the quaternary ammonium pendant functionalities have a structure of that in the brackets of Formula (IV): where A is CH 2 , B is hydrogen; and C is of Formula III, where Formula III is: where R 7 -R 11 are hydrogen. 3. The cationic polymer of claim 2 , wherein the cationic polymer has an weight-average molecular weight between 2,000 and 100,000 Daltons as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
