Abstract

Three different structures were synthesized via solution free radical polymerization. Polyacrylamides hydrophobically modified with small amounts of two different N′N-dialkylacrylamides [N,N-dihexylacrylamide (DHAM) and N,N-dioctylacrylamide (DOAM)] and two different N-alkylacrylamides [N-dodecylacrylamide (DAM) and N-hexadecylacrylamide (HDAM)] have been synthesized using two linear hydrophobic initiators with 12 (ACVA12) and 16 (ACVA16) carbon atoms and two di-substituted hydrophobic initiator with two chains of 6 (ACVAdi6) and 8 (ACVAdi8) carbon atoms derived from 4′4-azobis(4-cyanopentanoic acid) (ACVA). The polymers obtained were telechelic, multisticker and combined. The initiators, monomers and polymers synthesized were characterized by 1H NMR and light scattering (LS). The rheological properties of these three different associative polymers were investigated using steady-state experiments. The effect of location and structure (linear or di-substituted) of the hydrophobic groups upon the viscosity of the polymer in solution was studied.
