This example is to prepare quaternary ammonium-containing rosin-derived methacrylate polymers, according to the exemplary method shown in FIG. 2. The method involves the synthesis of methacrylate monomers containing Diels-Alder adduct (anhydride) by esterification, and homopolymer by free radical polymerization. Following the amidation and quaternization reactions, the quaternary ammonium group is introduced. A typical procedure for the synthesis is described as follows: levopimaric acid is dissolved in thionyl chloride and refluxed for 12 h. Thionyl chloride is removed by reduced pressure distillation. The methacrylate monomer containing Diels-Alder adduct (anhydride) 3 is obtained by the addition of excess 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and using triethylamine as catalyst. The homopolymer is prepared by the radical polymerization of monomer 3 in the presence of the toluene and azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN). The homopolymer is dissolved in ethanol and then added with the dimethylethylenediamine. The mixture is stirred at 85° C. for 5 h and precipitated in diethyl ether to obtain the rosin-derived tertiary ammonium homopolymer. The quaternary ammonium unit 4 is then introduced by the reaction between the rosin-derived tertiary ammonium homopolymer and alkyl halide (e.g. bromoethane, bromohexane, bromooctane and bromododecane) in tetrahydrofuran at 40° C. for 48 h.
