Copolymerization of Methacryloylguanidine Trifluoroacetate with Styrene in Acetone and Dimethylsulfoxide at High Conversions

Radical copolymerization of methacryloylguanidine trifloroaceatate with styrene has been studied in acetone and dimethylsulfoxide in a wide range of the monomer mixture compositions. For the first time, copolymers (with the yield up to 90%) have been obtained from monomer mixtures with a high total concentration of comonomers (up to 1.7 mol/L). The preliminary biological tests have shown sufficiently high biocide and fungicide activity of the synthesized copolymers.
