Abstract A process of manufacturing a polymeric composition of ionexchange resins possessing amphoteric characteristics. The compositions are produced by reacting in the presence of a free radical initiator a heterogeneous mixture comprising an aqueous solution of an allylamine salt containing more than one allyl substituent of a strong acid and a compound selected from the group consisting of ethylenically unsaturated acids and organic derivatives of ethylenically unsaturated acids. The mixture is further characterized in that a major proportion of the noted compound is present in a separate phase finely dispersed in the aqueous solution. The amphoteric ion-exchange resins so produced find utility in the purification of biological media and polymers, and pharmaceuticals, for example, penicillin, cosmetics, slow release medicines and water demineralization processes.
A PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING A POLYMERIC COMPOSITION WHICH PROCESS COMPRISES REACTING IN THE PRESENCE OF A FREE RADICAL INITIATOR A HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE COMPRISING AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF AN ALLYLAMINE SALT CONTAINING MORE THAN ONE ALLYL SUBSTITUENT OF A STRONG ACID AND A COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED ACIDS AND ORGANIC DERIVATIVES OF ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED ACIDS SAID MIXTURE BEING CHARACTERIZED IN THAT IN MAJOR PROPORTION OF THE SAID COMPOUND IS PRESENT IN A SEPARATE PHASE FINELY DISPERSED IN THE AQUEOUS SOLUTION.
