Abstract
Macro photoinitiators possessing polyethylene glycol(PEG) segments wer e used for radical polymerization of acrylamide(AAm) to yield high mol ecular weight block copolymers (PAAm-b-PEG-b-PAAm) composed of PEG and polyacrylamide(PAAm) as the inner segment and outer segment respectiv ely. The block copolymers were used as flocculates to clear a saturate d borax solution prepared from tincal concentrate and showed good floc culating properties.
