Abstract

The terpolymers of the invention: PA0 (a) a vinyl lactam, such as vinyl pyrrolidone or vinyl caprolactam; PA0 (b) an amino alkyl acrylamide or acrylate, such as dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide or dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate; and PA0 (c) a polymerizable carboxylic acid, such as acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. The zwitterion terpolymers of the invention are made from the terpolymers by internal transfer of the proton of the carboxylic acid to the amino group of the acrylamide or acrylate monomer.
