StudyingtheKinetics<strong>of</strong>aChemicalReaction. Four90/10 wt%AM/DMDAAC<br />

copolymers were synthesized with different initiator levels. The correlation<br />

shown in Fig. 10. For adesired MW range, the required initiator level can be<br />

predicted from Fig. 10.<br />

4.2.2 Studying the Distribution <strong>of</strong> Dansyldiallylamine Incorporation<br />

Along an AM/DMDAAC Copolymer<br />

Figure 11 shows the RI <strong>and</strong> UV scans <strong>of</strong> dansyldiallylamine tagged AM/<br />

DMDAAC (50/50 w/w monomer charge ratio) copolymers. No UV signal can be<br />

observed for the copolymer synthesized at pH 6.5, so dansyldiallylamine did not<br />

incorporate into this copolymer chain. However, the chromatograms <strong>of</strong> UV <strong>and</strong> RI<br />

scans for a copolymer synthesized at pH 3.0 are similar. This indicates that<br />
