Abstract
A process for making homogeneous copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and 3-dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide (DMAPMA) which form clear aqueous solutions having high cloud points. The process involves precharging VP and DMAPMA monomers in a predetermined ratio, and then feeding VP and DMAPMA at a predetermined rate, the ratio of the components in the initial charge and the feeding rates for the monomer being selected in accordance with the reactivity rates of the monomers towards copolymerization as opposed to homopolymerization.
