Pharmaceutical compositions for and methods of treating an animal, including a human, and methods of preparing such compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions contain crosslinked amine polymers and may be used, for example, to treat diseases or other metabolic conditions in which removal of protons and/or chloride ions from the gastrointestinal tract would provide physiological benefits such as normalizing serum bicarbonate concentrations and the blood pH in an animal, including a human.

Polydiallylamine copolymers are copolymers comprising monomers of polydiallylamine and either polyvinlyamine or polyallylamine. Polydiallylamine copolymers are often crosslinked. The polydiallyamine copolymers are useful as pharmaceutical compositions and may be used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and for mitigating the complications of type 2 diabetes.

The present invention relates to a polymer preparation method for preparing water-soluble cationic polymers P1 wherein the halides content is reduced, as well as to the use of these polymers as additives in compositions that are based on inorganic mineral binders or in the treatment of aqueous open, semi-closed, or closed circuits.

The present invention relates to a polymer preparation method for preparing water-soluble cationic polymers P1 wherein the halides content is reduced, as well as to the use of these polymers as additives in compositions that are based on inorganic mineral binders or in the treatment of aqueous open, semi-closed, or closed circuits.

Disclosed herein are polymer compositions useful in high temperature enhanced oil recovery applications. The polymer compositions include at least 20 mol % of an N,N-dialkyl-N,N-diallylammonium salt and further have a net negative charge. The polymer compositions provide polymer dispersions in water or brine having stable viscosity when maintained at temperatures of 100 C. and above for at least 2 days.
