Claim:
A polymer prepared from reactants comprising: a) a first monomer having the structure of Formula I b) a second monomer having the structure of Formula II c) a first quaternizing agent comprising at least one of an acid or a silicon-free alkylating agent; and d) a second quaternizing agent comprising the structure of Formula III X—R 6 —Si(R 7 ) 3 , (III) wherein: R f is selected from a structure of Formula IV or Formula V F(C m F 2m O) n C p F 2p— (IV) C x F 2x+1 SO 2 N(R 1 )—, (V) m is an integer of 1 to 12; n is an integer of 1 to 40; p is an integer of 1 to 6; x is an integer of 1 to 6; R 1 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group, and combinations thereof; A is a linking group having less than 11 carbon atoms; R 10 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R 2 comprises at least one of an alkylene group, a heteroalkylene group, an arylene group, or an aralkylene group; each R 3 is independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; R 11 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; X is a leaving group selected from the group consisting of halo, alkyl sulfonate, fluorinated alkyl sulfonate, aryl sulfonate, and fluorinated aryl sulfonate; R 6 comprises an alkylene, an arylene group, or an aralkylene group; and each R 7 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydroxy groups, alkoxy groups, acyl groups, acyloxy groups, halo groups, polyether groups, and combinations thereof.
