Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Five hundred grams (500 g) of de-ionized water was added to 1000 g of a 30% aqueous solution of a terpolymer of vinyl caprolactam (VCap), dimethylamino propyl methacrylamide (DMAPMA), and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). GMA (12 g) was added drop-wise with continuous stirring. The obtained solution was heated at 60° C. for one hour. The resulting product was freeze dried to render a solid, white powder. A representative structure for the polymeric reaction is presented below, wherein x+y+z+a=100:
