Abstract

Abstract The preparation of water soluble polymers by amination of an anhydride containing polymer such as styrene-maleic anhydride may be effected with better control and moderation of the reaction exotherm by mixing said anhydride polymer in certain proportions with a similar, previously ammoniated polymer having an excess of aminating agent absorbed thereon. The process is readily adaptable to a continuous process by merely recycling a portion of the final product to reabsorb excess aminating agent.
