Abstract
Abstract A graft copolymer of a monomer including at least one monomeric unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acid and at least one additional monomer selected from the group consisting of aliphatic conjugated dienes and monoalkenyl aromatic compounds polymerized on a polymeric N-vinyl lactam substrate, stable aqueous emulsions containing same, and methods for producing such emulsions and graft copolymers useful as adhesives and other purposes.
