Abstract
Abstract The present invention is concerned with novel monomers containing sulfonic acid groups or salts thereof and polymers thereof which are useful for many purposes, such as antistatic agents for textiles and other shaped articles formed of hydrophilic materials. They are useful for making copolymers that are particularly valuable in coating compositions, especially in the form of aqueous latices or organic solvent solutions thereof. Examples of the monomers are of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or lower (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl, such as methyl, A is an alkylene group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, at least 2 of which extend in one chain between the oxygen atoms, and X is an aromatic nucleus or an alkyl group, substituted by a sulfonic acid group and optionally one or more groups selected from sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, and lower alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, or butyl.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
234 words
An addition copolymer of a compound, and salts thereof, of the formula: ##STR8## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, A is an alkylene group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, at least 2 of which extend in a chain between the adjoined oxygen atoms, and X is selected from the group consisting of (a) a benzene ring substituted by at least one sulfonic acid group. (b) a benzene ring substituted by at least one sulfonic acid group and at least one carboxylic group, and (c) an alkyl group of the formula ##STR9## wherein on of R 1 and R 3 is a sulfonic acid group and the other is H, R 2 is selected from the group consisting of H and (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl groups, R 4 is selected from the group consisting of H, --COOH, and (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl groups, and R 5 is selected from the group consisting of H and (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl groups, with the proviso that only one of R 2 , R 4 and R 5 is alkyl, except that both R 2 and R 4 may be alkyl, provided that R 1 and R 5 are both H, with at least one other copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and in which the monomer of Formula I is present in an amount of about 0.1% to 10% by weight of the total monomers.
