Synthesis of water-soluble ionic terpolymers by inverse microemulsion and solution polymerization methods.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of terpolymers can lead to very interesting combinations of monomers, which can affect the solubility of the polymer, its thermal stability or resistance in saline aqueous media. Free-radical inverse microemulsion and solution polymerization techniques were used to prepare water-soluble acrylamide-N-vinylpyrrolidone-(vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride terpolymers. The formulation of the polymerizable microemulsion was optimized by using the screening of surfactant percentage and HLB concept. The influence of synthesis temperature on the terpolymer composition and molecular weight was investigated. The reactions were carried out at 60, 70, and 75 °C for the microemulsion technique and at 40, 50, and 55 °C for the solution polymerization technique. The reaction produ
