A stable aqueous latex of a copolymer containing at least 40 percent by weight of a polymerized olefinic unsaturated nitrile is described. The copolymer comprises a main polymer core of from 40 to 100 percent by weight of the polymerized nitrile and from 0 to 60 percent by weight of at least one other polymerized olefin monomer, said main polymer core being overpolymerized with a copolymer comprising a major proportion of a polymerized acrylate in from one to 40 percent by weight of a polymerized olefinic unsaturated nitrile. A two-step method for preparing such a latex also is described. The latices of the invention are useful in forming films at low temperatures, and the minimum film forming temperature can be regulated by the selection of the particular components and the relative amounts of the components used to form the latices.
本文描述了一种稳定的含
水胶乳,其共聚物含有至少 40%(按重量计)的聚合烯烃不饱和腈。这种共聚物包括一个主聚合物芯,其中聚合腈的重量占 40%至 100%,至少还有一种聚合烯烃单体,其重量占 0%至 60%,所述主聚合物芯与一种共聚物进行过共聚,该共聚物包括一种聚合
丙烯酸酯,其主要比例为聚合烯烃不饱和腈的重量占 1%至 40%。本发明还描述了制备这种胶乳的两步法。本发明的胶乳可用于在低温下形成薄膜,最低成膜温度可通过选择特定成分和用于形成胶乳的成分的相对数量来调节。
