Copolymers of methacrylic acid and,-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate exist as polycations at low pH, as polyanions at high pH, and probably as polyzwitterions at intermediate pH values. Each copolymer possesses a definite isoelectric point, characterized by a minimum in the solution viscosity and by a reversal in the electrophoretic mobility. Theisoelectric point moves to higher pH values, as the amine/acid ratio in the copolymer is increased. If either the amine or the acid con-stituent is present in large excess, the isoelectric point broadens into a pH range in which the polymer is insoluble.Synthetic vinyl copolymers containing both acid and basic groups may provide useful analogs to certain aspects of the solution behavior of proteins. 3 Previous publications4· 5 have discussed copolymers of methacrylic acid with vinylpyridine. The above copolymers were soluble in acid and in al-kali, but exhibited water-insolubility in the neutral pH range. This was ascribed to the weakly basic character of the pyridine groups, which would preclude zwitterion formation. This paper describes copolymerscontaining stronger basic groups, contributed by the monomer,-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DEAM).
