The nucleophilic ring opening of dicyanoketene ethylene acetal by tertiary amino monomers leads to an hydrophobic zwitterionic monomer [(dimethylammonioethoxy)dicyanoethenolate]propylmethacrylamide (DADPMA) characterized by a very high dipole moment. Hydrophobically modified water soluble polymers have been prepared by classical radical polymerization of acrylamide and DADPMA either in homogeneous medium (water/ethanol mixtures) or in micellar solution (water containing sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS)). The copolymers obtained have a high molecular weight ( M w  = 2–5 × 10 6  g mol −1 ) and are water soluble for a content of DADPMA lower than 1% mole/mole. The properties of the copolymers in aqueous solution depend on the synthesis conditions, especially on the ratio ethanol:zwitterionic monomer. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry
