Li. Abramova et al., THE SYNTHESIS OF WATER-SOLUBLE BIOLOGICAL LY-ACTIVE COPOLYMERS OF ACRYLAMIDE AND SULFONYLAMIDINES OF (METH)ACRYLIC SERIES, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 36(12), 1994, pp. 2084-2087
A series on unsaturated sulfonylamidines and their copolymers with acr
ylamide were synthesized. The kinetics of copolymerization of acrylami
de with an ammonium salt of N-methacrylamidosulfonyltrichloroacetamidi
ne was studied in aqueous solution at 50-degrees-C. For this pair of m
onomers, reactivity ratios were determined. Chain transfer to sulfonyl
amidine group was identified as one of the causes reducing the molecul
ar mass of the copolymers. Water-soluble copolymers of acrylamide and
unsaturated sulfonylamidines were found to display antifungal activity
towards pathogenic fungi and bacteria afflicting plants.
