Application of Thin-Layer Chromatography for Determination of Residual Monomers in Homo-and Copolymers of N , N , N -Trimethyl- N -methacryloyloxyethylammonium Methylsulfate and Acrylamide

A method for determination of residual monomers in homo-and copolymers of acrylamide and N , N , N -trimethyl- N -methacryloyloxyethylammonium methylsulfate by means of thin-layer chromatography has been developed. Efficient eluting systems have been found for separation and identification of the indicated components, and the limits of their quantitative determination in the obtained polymers have been established.
