Abstract
Abstract Amine group-containing addition interpolymers having improved stability under conditions of storage and use are prepared by interpolymerizing at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer and at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated aminolysis-resistant organic monomer to form an addition interpolymer containing carboxyl groups pendent to the polymer chain and aminolysis-resistant organic groups pendent to the polymer chain, following which a portion of the pendent carboxyl groups of the addition interpolymer are reacted with an alkylenimine to form pendent amine groups and a portion of the pendent carboxyl groups of the addition interpolymer are neutralized with a basic compound to form pendent anionic salt groups.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A water thinnable or reducible addition interpolymer having improved stability containing pendent anionic salt groups, pendent carboxyl groups, pendent amine groups and pendent aminolysis-resistant organic groups, wherein said interpolymer is prepared by interpolymerizing from about 5 percent to about 60 percent by weight of at least one ethylenically-unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer and from about 40 percent to about 95 percent by weight of a branched chain or alicyclic ester of an alpha, alkyl-substituted carboxylic acid so as to form an interpolymer having pendent carboxyl groups and pendent aminolysis-resistant organic groups and wherein said interpolymer is further reacted with sufficient alkylenimine to iminate from about 5 mole percent to about 95 mole percent of the carboxyl groups to form the pendent amine groups and sufficient base to form the pendent anionic salt groups and to result in a level of neutralization sufficient to give the interpolymer a pH of greater than 7.0 in water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
A water thinnable or reducible addition interpolymer having improved stability containing pendent anionic salt groups, pendent carboxyl groups, pendent amine groups and pendent aminolysis-resistant organic groups, wherein said interpolymer is prepared by interpolymerizing from about 5 percent to about 60 percent by weight of at least one ethylenically-unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer and from about 40 percent to about 95 percent by weight of a branched chain or alicyclic ester of an alpha, alkyl-substituted carboxylic acid so as to form an interpolymer having pendent carboxyl groups and pendent aminolysis-resistant organic groups and wherein said interpolymer is further reacted with sufficient alkylenimine to iminate from about 5 mole percent to about 95 mole percent of the carboxyl groups to form the pendent amine groups and sufficient base to form the pendent anionic salt groups and to result in a level of neutralization sufficient to give the interpolymer a pH of greater than 7.0 in water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The addition interpolymer of claim 1 wherein the branched chain or alicyclic ester of the alpha, alkyl-substituted carboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of isobutyl methacrylate, tertiary butyl methacrylate, isobornyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The addition interpolymer of claim 2 wherein said carboxylic acid is acrylic acid or methacrylic acid or a mixture thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The addition interpolymer of claim 3 wherein said alkylenimine is propylenimine or ethylenimine or a mixture thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
The addition interpolymer of claim 3 or 1 wherein said interpolymer is prepared by interpolymerizing from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer and from about 50% to about 90% by weight of the aminolysis-resistant organic monomer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
The addition interpolymer of claim 5 wherein said branched chain or alicyclic ester is isobutyl methacrylate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The addition interpolymer of claim 3 wherein said pendent anionic salt groups are derived by neutralizing carboxyl groups with an amine or an alkali metal hydroxide.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
The addition interpolymer of claim 7 wherein said carboxyl groups are neutralized with dimethylethanolamine.
