Polyelectrolytes

Abstract
The polymerization of N,N-dimethyl-3,4-dimethylene-pyrrolidinium bromide was carried both in the presence and absence of initiators. Aqueous solutions with 10–50% monomer were polymerized by heating at 60°. The conversion time decreased with increased monomer concentration and molecular weight increased with increased monomer concentration. High monomer concentration also yielded significant amounts of monomer dimer.
