The article synthesizes new monomers based on citric acid – acrylamido-N-methylene citric acid (AA-N-MLK) and acrylamido-N-citric acid (AA-N-LC). The structure of the obtained monomers was identified using various physical and chemical research methods. By studying the radical polymerization of monomers in aqueous solutions, the general equations of the rate of their polymerization are derived. The effect of the pH value of the medium and the ionic strength of the solution on the polymerization rate of monomers is shown.
