Abstract: Acrylamide-dicyanodiamide macromer (M) is a condensation polymer of acrylamide, formaldehyde and dicyanodiamide with C=C as one of the end groups.The process of condensation was monitored by high-pressure liquid chromatography and C=C double bond was identified by 1H NMR.Molecular wight Mw of macromer was determined by SALLS method.Copolymer of the macromer with styrene P-M-St was prepared with AIBN as the initiator and DMSO as the solvent.The copolymer consists of hydrophobic groups along the main chain and the hydrophilic groups along the graft side chain.The graft copolymer was identified by GPC, IRspectrum and solubility-test.P-M-St with low content of styrene is water-soluble.Its charge density and degree of branching were determined by conductometric titration and its molecular weight Mw by using SALLS method.The viscosity behavior of P-M-St in MeOH/H2O shows that the copolymer is a polyelectrolyte containing hydrophobic groups.
