New crosslinkers were synthesized from reaction of melamine with acryloyl and methacryloyl chloride in the presence of 1‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone as a solvent and triethyl amine as acid acceptor. The chemical structures of the prepared crosslinkers were elucidated from FT‐IR, 1 H‐NMR and 13 C‐NMR analyses. Linear 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐1‐propane sulfonic acid and methacrylic acid (AMPS/MAA) copolymers were prepared and their viscometric properties in aqueous solution were investigated. Different weight percentages of the prepared crosslinkers were used as crosslinking agent (AMPS/MAA) to prepare ionic copolymers using ammonium persulfate as initiator. The percentage of crosslinkers was varied from 0.5 to 4 wt%. The swelling behaviors of crosslinked AMPS/MAA gels in deionized water were measured at different pH and temperatures. All AMPS/MAA copolymers exhibit faster deswelling rate at 50°C except for the copolymer containing 0.9 (mol ratio) AMPS. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
