Claims
- 1. A cationic, water-soluble, high molecular weight polymer comprising the following polymeric units randomly distributed in the polymer chain: ##STR7## B- which is selected from the group consisting of ##STR8## and a member selected from the group consisting of C-, D-and E- wherein C- is selected from the group consisting of ##STR9## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl; Y is NH or O; R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 are alkyl groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl groups having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; "n" is an integer of 1 to 4; the total of "n" and the number of carbon atoms in R not to exceed four; X is an anion of a strong acid or hydroxyl; the percentage of "A" units being up to 99 mol percent and the percentage of "B" units being at least 1 mol percent wherein both A and B units are present.
- 2. A polymer as defined in claim 1 which includes the D-polymeric unit.
- 3. A polymer as defined in claim 3 wherein polymeric unit B is the B.sub.1 unit described.
- 4. A polymer as defined in claim 1 wherein Y is NH.
