Biocidal Copolymers of Methacryloylguanidine Hydrochloride with Methacrylamide and Diallyldimethylammonium Chloride

The copolymers of methacryloylguanidine hydrochloride with methacrylamide and diallyldimethylammonium chloride are synthesized by radical polymerization. The reactivity ratios of these monomers are determined, and the dependence of the biocidal activity of the copolymers on the structure of the macromolecule chain is studied. It is shown that manifestation of the biocidal activity is determined not only by the composition of the copolymer but also by the nature of the distribution of methacryloylguanidine hydrochloride units along the macromolecule chain.
