Polymerization of aminoalkyl-(meth)acrylates and their salts. Review

Influences of monomer self‐association on the radical solution homopolymerization of N‐[3‐(dimethylamino)propyl](meth)acrylamide

“…It is known, that the homopolymerization of the salt forms of amine‐containing (meth)acrylic monomers proceeds much faster compared with the homopolymerization of free forms . In water solutions of DMAPA and DMAPMA the fraction of the monomers with protonated amino group should decrease due to the known effect of the decrease of ionization degree of amines in concentrated aqueous solutions.…”

“…In water solutions of DMAPA and DMAPMA the fraction of the monomers with protonated amino group should decrease due to the known effect of the decrease of ionization degree of amines in concentrated aqueous solutions. Moreover, the polymerization of any amine‐containing methacrylates and (meth)acrylamides proceeds with higher rates in pure water rather than in mixed aqueous‐organic solvents . The analogues effect can be manifested in highly concentrated aqueous solutions of DMAPA and DMAPMA that can be considered (to some extent) as transition from the polymerization in water to the polymerization in aqueous‐organic mixtures.…”

Free radical copolymerization of N,N‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate with styrene and methyl methacrylate: monomer reactivity ratios and glass transition temperatures

“…Recently, polymerization and copolymerization reactions of nitrogen‐containing monomers have attracted the attention of researchers as a way of obtaining water‐soluble polymer materials with a wide range of physicochemical and biological properties 4. Aminoalkyl (meth)acrylates and their salts take a prominent position among these monomers 5, 6. The interest in polymers based on aminoalkyl esters of methacrylic acid (and their salts) is related to both the accessibility and high reactivity of the starting monomers as well as to the properties of the products 7.…”
