| Abstract: | In this article are described the solution properties of ampholytic ionomers obtained by the radical copolymerization of styrene with the ion-pair comonomer 3-methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate. The solution properties were studied in mixed solvents, with a good solvent for the polystyrene backbone and another for the ionic moieties, and in the individual good solvent of benzyl alcohol. The data obtained strongly support extensive intermolecular ionic interactions in solution. |
