Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A nonionic water soluble binary copolymeric thickening agent composed of in polymerized form about 1 to 5 mole percent of a vinyl benzyl ether monomer and the balance to make 100 percent of acrylamide, said ether monomer having the formula ##STR11## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, m is about 10 to 100 and Y is ##STR12## where R 2 is an alkyl group of 1 to about 22 carbon atoms and R 3 is hydrogen or an alkyl group of 1 to about 22 carbon atoms, provided R 2 and R 3 in combination have at least 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A nonionic water soluble binary copolymeric thickening agent composed of in polymerized form about 1 to 5 mole percent of a vinyl benzyl ether monomer and the balance to make 100 percent of acrylamide, said ether monomer having the formula ##STR11## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, m is about 10 to 100 and Y is ##STR12## where R 2 is an alkyl group of 1 to about 22 carbon atoms and R 3 is hydrogen or an alkyl group of 1 to about 22 carbon atoms, provided R 2 and R 3 in combination have at least 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The binary copolymeric thickening agent of claim 1 wherein the mole percent of said ether monomer is about 1 to 3 percent.
