Abstract
Poly(acrylic acid) with molecular weight of 5000 was produced by using 2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride as chain transfer agent. Amine chain end groups of the resulting polyacrylic acid were transformed into nitrilodi(methylenephosphonic acid) by reacting formaldehyde-phosphorous acid in the presence of hydrogen chloride. 1H NMR, 31P NMR and microanalysis were used for structural analysis.The modified polyacrylic acid had much better calcium carbonate scale inhibition effect than commercial poly(acrylic acid).
