EXAMPLE 1 The preparation of (dodecyldimethyl methacryloimidopropyl ammonium tosylate) . [DMAPMA-Cι₆Ts] A mixture of 360 g of dodecyl tosylate and 200 g of DMAPMA were slowly heated up to 70°C without a solvent. Stirring was continued at 70°C for 2 hours. Then the reaction was cooled to room temperature and solidified product was further used in polymerization without purification . EXAMPLE 2 Terpolymer of VP/DMAPMA/DMAPMAA-Cι₂Ts Quat

N-Vinylpyrrolidone (VP) (280 g) and deionized water (1400 g) are charged into a 2-liter resin pot equipped with a gas inlet, liquid inlet, a thermometer, and a condenser. The pH of the solution is adjusted to about 7.5 with KOH. Then a stream of nitrogen is introduced which bubbles through the solution during the reaction . The solution is gradually heated to 65°C for Lupersol® 11 catalyzed reaction, or to 78 °C for a Vazo® 67 initiated process. Then, DMAPMA (17.5 g) and DMAPMAA-Cι₂Ts quat (52.5 g) are added continuously and uniformly into the pot with vigorous stirring for 4 hours so that the relative concentrations of the monomeric VP, DMAPMA, and DMAPMAA-C₁₂TS quat monomer remain practically constant throughout the reaction at predetermined levels .

As soon as DMAPMA and the DMAPMAA-Cι₂Ts quat are introduced into the pot, Lupersol® 11 (t-butylperoxy pivalate in mineral spirits) or Vazo® 67 2 ,2-azobis (2- methylbutanenitrile) , catalyst is added. The rate of the addition of the catalyst is such that 2 ml of Lupersol is completely delivered in 4 hours . Then the solution is held for an additional 3 hours at 68°C (or 78°C for Vazo 67 initiator) . The product is an aqueous solution of a homogeneous terpolymer of VP, DMAPMA and a DMAPMAA-C₁₂Ts quat has a predetermined composition indicative of the relative amounts of each monomer used in the process and is substantially free of any residual homopolymer or copolymer . The yield of the terpolymer product is substantially quantitative. EXAMPLES 1-6
