Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
A neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic polymer comprising a sulfonated thermoplastic polymer having about 5 to about 300 meq. sulfonate groups per 100 grams of said neutralized sulfonated polymer, said sulfonated groups being neutralized with an n-polyalkylene oxide substitute amine, wherein said thermoplastic polymer is derived from a polymer selected from the group consisting of polystyrene, poly-t-butyl styrene, polyvinyl toluene and poly-alpha-methyl styrene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 61 words
A neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic polymer comprising a sulfonated thermoplastic polymer having about 5 to about 300 meq. sulfonate groups per 100 grams of said neutralized sulfonated polymer, said sulfonated groups being neutralized with an n-polyalkylene oxide substitute amine, wherein said thermoplastic polymer is derived from a polymer selected from the group consisting of polystyrene, poly-t-butyl styrene, polyvinyl toluene and poly-alpha-methyl styrene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
A polymer according to claim 1 wherein said sulfonated polymer is derived from a polymer selected from polystyrene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
A polymer according to claim 1 or 2 wherein said n-polyalkylene oxide substituted amine is derived from a monoamine or polyamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
A polymer according to claims 1 or 2 wherein the amine terminated polyalkylene oxide chains can be homo- or copolymers of alkylene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
A polymer according to claim 1 or 2 wherein said n-polyalkylene oxide substituted amine is an ethoxylated long chain, fatty acid derived amine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
A polymer according to claim 5 wherein fatty acid derived amine is a lauryl amine or stearyl amine.
