Abstract
Abstract Branched polyamidoamines bearing a plurality of pendant aminoamide moieties exhibit properties which are superior to the linear polyamidoamines from which the branched polymers are derived. The branched polyamidoamine is readily prepared by reacting a linear polyamidoamine with an alkyl acrylate or methacrylate to prepare a polymer with pendant ester moieties. The ester moieties are then reacted with an alkylene diamine or a polyalkylene polyamine to produce the pendant aminoamide groups.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A branched polyamidoamine having a weight average molecular weight of at least about 550 and consisting essentially of units corresponding to the formula I ##STR8## wherein R at each occurrence is independently --H or 13 CH 3 ; A is ##STR9## m is an integer from 2 to about 10 and n is an integer from 1 to about 6; D at each occurrence is independently --H or corresponds to formula II ##STR10## with the proviso that at least about 10 percent of the groups represented by D correspond to formula II; B is CH 2x NR' y or ##STR11## x is an integer from 2 to about 10 and y is an integer from 1 to about 6; R' at each occurrence is independently --H, a C 1 to C 4 alkyl, or a C 1 to C 4 hydroxyalkyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A branched polyamidoamine having a weight average molecular weight of at least about 550 and consisting essentially of units corresponding to the formula I ##STR8## wherein R at each occurrence is independently --H or 13 CH 3 ; A is ##STR9## m is an integer from 2 to about 10 and n is an integer from 1 to about 6; D at each occurrence is independently --H or corresponds to formula II ##STR10## with the proviso that at least about 10 percent of the groups represented by D correspond to formula II; B is CH 2x NR' y or ##STR11## x is an integer from 2 to about 10 and y is an integer from 1 to about 6; R' at each occurrence is independently --H, a C 1 to C 4 alkyl, or a C 1 to C 4 hydroxyalkyl.
