Abstract A charge imbalanced composition comprising: (a) about 10 to 90 mole % of an amphoteric copolymer having the formula ##STR1## where R=alkyl C 1 -C 4 , N=1-6, R 1 and R 2 are independently alkyl C 1 -C 6 , and R 3 is H, (b) about 10 to 90 mole % of a polymeric diacid having the formula: ##STR2## where R is as defined above, and (c) less than about 8 mole % of by-product salts which are the dialkylaminoalkylamine salts of (a) and (b). The composition described above is made by: reacting 1 mole of an anhydride compound having the formula ##STR3## where R is as defined above, with less than 1 mole of a compound having the formula ##STR4## where n, R 1 and R 2 are as defined above, and R 3 is H, isolating the product, and hydrolyzing any residual anhydride compound in water to the corresponding diacid compound.
A composition comprising: (a) about 10 to 90 mole % of an amphoteric copolymer having the formula ##STR9## where R=alkyl C 1 -C 4 , n=1-6, R 1 and R 2 are independently alkyl C 1 -C 6 , and R 3 is H, (b) about 10 to 90 mole % of a polymeric diacid having the formula: ##STR10## where R is as defined above, and (c) less than about 8 mole % of by-product salts which are the dialkylaminoalkylamine salts of (a) and (b).
