New ethylenically unsaturated monomers are provided that can be (co)polymerized to provide a composition and method whereby the same group that is attached to or within the backbone of an associative thickener is reversibly switched between being hydrophilic and hydrophobic in nature. When the group that is attached to or within the backbone is rendered hydrophilic, the aqueous thickener is pourable and readily incorporated into aqueous polymer compositions. When this group is rendered hydrophobic, the thickener performs its thickening function efficiently. Switching is readily accomplished by adjusting the pH of the associative thickener composition and the aqueous polymer composition being thickened. The thickeners are prepared from the novel monomers by an aqueous solution polymerization.

A composition and method whereby the same group that is attached to or within the backbone of an associative thickener is reversibly switched between being hydrophilic and hydrophobic in nature. The group comprises a tertiary amine, or tertiary phosphine and has a hydrocarbon radical bonded to the amine nitrogen atom or phosphine phosphorus atom, which hydrocarbon radical is pendant to the backbone and contains fewer than 10 carbon atoms. When the group that is attached to or within the backbone is rendered hydrophilic, the aqueous thickener is pourable and readily incorporated into aqueous polymer compositions. When this group is rendered hydrophobic, the thickener performs its thickening function efficiently. Switching is readily accomplished by adjusting the pH of the associative thickener composition and the aqueous polymer composition being thickened.

Thickened aqueous compositions, and a method for controlling viscosity drift for thickened aqueous compositions comprising a pigment, a polymer containing polymerized units of phosphate- or phosphonate-containing monomers, and an acid suppressible thickener.
A single-site olefin polymerization catalyst and method of making it are disclosed. The catalyst comprises an activator and an organometallic complex. The complex comprises a Group 3 to 10 transition or lanthanide metal, M, and at least one chelating N-oxide ligand that is bonded to M. Molecular modeling results indicate that single-site catalysts based on certain chelating N-oxide ligands (e.g., 2-hydroxypyridine) will rival the performance of catalysts based on cyclopentadienyl and substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands.
