Abstract

Abstract An improved method is provided for producing polymers of organic compounds, such as ethylenically unsaturated monomers, containing a betaine-type group of the formula: ##STR1## The method involves the reaction of acrylic acid or aqueous methyl acrylate and an aminoalkyl (meth)acrylate or an N-amino-alkyl (meth)acrylamide having a basic tertiary nitrogen atom in the presence of a free radical initiator. The monomers undergo vinyl addition polymerization to form valuable polymers having a wide variety of uses, such as flocculants, retention aids in the deposition of polymers, pigments, etc. on the fibers in a paper pulp, e.g., in the formation of mineral-filled papers.
