Novel interpolymers useful as thickening agents
Abstract
Abstract An interpolymer composition comprising: Wherein Y represents -OH and O-R1 and Y and R2 together represent a single bond of an imide ring. X represents either OR -O-. R1 represents the same or different hydrocarbon radicals containing from about C6 to about C36 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of normal chain alkyl, branched chain alkyl, cycloalkyl and alkylaryl radicals. R2 represents H or the same or different hydrocarbon radicals containing from about C1 to about C30 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of normal chain alkyl, branched chain alkyl, cycloalkyl, and alkylaryl radicals wherein the sum total of carbon atoms represented by R1 and R2 is not greater than C36 (when X O, or an imide nitrogen,R2 does not exist). R3 represents either hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or phenyl. R4 represents either hydrogen or methyl, which compounds are particularly useful as thickening agents for solutions of high ionic strength.
