Russian term

-аммоницетил-

Russian to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng pharmaceuticals; polymer coatings
This is part of the lengthy polymer name below (used in a pharmaceutical product). I have no problem with any of it except the "аммоницетил" part. "Ammonicetyl" doesn't seem to be in use. Neither does "ammoniocetyl". I'd really appreciate input from someone with a strong chemistry terminology background. Thanks!

поли(етилакрилат, метилметакрилат) триметиламмоницетилметакрелатхлорид

You're welcome :)

Max, I think that did the trick. Thanks!

No chance to check with the client. I have searched the client website, drug name, etc. The only thing I can come up with is a vastly abbreviated name of the polymer, which doesn't help me much. :(

Max, for client confidentiality reasons I don't think I should specify the product, but I will look for the option you suggest. It looks pretty reasonable.
Max Deryagin Sep 10, 2013:
Could you please specify the product? For example, in the following PDF

http://eudragit.evonik.com/product/eudragit/Documents/evonik...

in Chapter 2, you can find the following sentence:

“EUDRAGIT® RL 100 and EUDRAGIT® RS 100 are copolymers of ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and a low content of a methacrylic acid ester with quaternary ammonium groups (trimethylammonioethyl methacrylate chloride).”

So probably it is indeed a typo — “цетил” in place of “этил.” (Or maybe not.)
Amy Lesiewicz Sep 10, 2013:
*typo*, not *type* (duh)
Amy Lesiewicz Sep 10, 2013:
-ammonium acetyl- My guess is that it's a type in the source... any chance you can clarify it with the client?
If you can get the chemical formula, of course, it's easy to find the proper name...
