Amphoteric Polyacrylamide Synthesis Failure

The synthesis of amphoteric polyacrylamide (PAM) via semi-batch solution polymerization is failing due to undetectable anionic functionality and lower-than-expected cationic charge density. The issue arises from the premix of monomers, potentially caused by different reactivity ratios or ionic monomer complex formation.
