Kinetics of copolymerization reactions of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) and dimethyl acrylamide (DMA) in aqueous solvent is studied, with highlights on features that control many aspects of the polymeric materials behavior throughout and post‐synthesis. The aim of this study is twofold; first, to offer a method to study the impact of the incorporation of the cationic DADMAC on the composition drift, molecular mass of the copolyelectrolyte, and on the polyelectrolyte behavior by monitoring in real time the copolymerization reactions with a neutral monomer under different conditions. Additionally, it is meant to make the transition toward the next step, controlling the reaction kinetics during designed semi‐batch experiments designed to achieve the average mass and composition distributions desired.
