Specifics of polymerization of trimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl)ammonium methyl sulfate in a sodium dodecyl sulfate solution and the properties of resultant complexes

The specifics of polymerization of trimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl)ammonium methyl sulfate in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and the properties of complexes that appear as polymerization products or are formed from these products were studied. It was found that the addition of the surfactant to the polymerization medium in sufficiently large amounts changes the polymerization rate and has a substantial effect on the properties of the products, thus reducing their molecular mass and greatly extending the range of existence of soluble complexes.
