Abstract
Abstract Novel polymerizable imidazolidinone monomers, useful in the preparation of self-crosslinking polymers, have the general structure ##STR1## wherein R 1 is H or a C 1 -C 6 linear or branched alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group; X is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## with R being H or CH 3 , m being 0-5, and n being 1-5; R 2 is H or CH 3 ; R 3 is H or ##STR3## with R' as defined above; and R 4 and R 5 are independently H or linear or branched C 1 -C 4 alkyl groups. In a preferred embodiment, aqueous emulsions of the imidazolidinone-containing polymers (e.g. 45-60% vinyl acetate, 34-52% butyl acrylate, and 3-6% imidazolidinone) and an acid-curing catalyst (e.g. ZnCl 2 ) are used as formaldehyde-free binders for nonwoven textiles.
