Abstract
Abstract Polymeric quaternary ammonium betaines; the preparation thereof; and uses therefor. These are illustrated by polymers and copolymers of dicarboxylic anhydrides such as maleic anhydride and copolymers thereof derived from copolymerizable compounds such as olefins, vinyl compounds, etc.; a carboxylic acid group of the anhydride polymeric unit being esterified with a quaternary alkanolamine. The polymers are prepared by reacting the anhydride-containing polymer with an alkylene oxide and a tertiary amine to form quaternary alkanolamine esters.
