| 1. A cationic random copolymer of formula (I):
wherein R1 and R5 are the same or different and selected from the following radicals of formulae II-IV:
wherein at least one of R1 or R5 is a radical of Formula IV with the proviso that when R5 is the same and is formula III,
R1 is not of formula II, x is 0 to 1000, y is 1 to 300, L can be the same or different and is selected from the group consisting
of urethanes, carbonates, carbamates, carboxyl ureidos, sulfonyls, a straight or branched C1-C30 alkyl group, a C1-C30 fluoroalkyl
group, a C1-C20 ester group, an alkyl ether, cycloalkyl ether, cycloalkenyl ether, aryl ether, arylalkyl ether, a polyether
containing group, an ureido group, an amide group, an amine group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C30 alkoxy group, a substituted
or unsubstituted C3-C30 cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3-C30 cycloalkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted
C5-C30 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C5-C30 arylalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C5-C30 heteroaryl
