摘要 |
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a stable aqueous dispersion of polymer particles having a core comprising structural units of: a) a phosphorus acid monomer, b) an acid monomer, c) a multiethylenically unsaturated monomer; and d) a polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated bulk monomer; and a shell comprising structural units of a1) a sulfur acid monomer, and b1) a polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated bulk monomer; wherein the core protuberates from the shell and the ratio of the structural units of the sulfur acid monomer to structural units of a carboxylic acid monomer in shell is at least 0.2:1. Control of the proportion of sulfur acid monomer units to carboxylic acid monomer units results in improvement in the viscosity stability of paint formulations containing latexes possessing a corn morphology without sacrificing hiding. |
