Abstract
Abstract Latex of an interpolymer composed of (1) a copolymer A of butadiene, styrene and at least one ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, and (2) a polymer B of a halogenohydroxyalkyl ester of an ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acid, polymer B being at least partially grafted onto the copolymer A. The latex is prepared by the emulsion polymerization of butadiene, styrene and at least one copolymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, followed by the polymerization, in the presence of the copolymer latex, of a halogenohydroxyalkyl ester of an ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acid. The latex may be used as a binder in aqueous compositions for coating paper.
