Binders based on alpha-olefin/carboxylic acid/polyamide polymers and their ionomers

摘要

The present invention is an article of manufacture comprising a substrate having a binder composition applied thereon. The binder applied to the substrate comprising a polymeric backbone comprising recurring monomeric units derived from monomers selected from the group consisting of one or more alpha-olefins and one or more unsaturated carboxylic acides, said backbone having grafted thereto, by a divalent amide linkage, one or more polymeric grafts comprising at least one recurring monomeric unit derived from monomers selected from the group consisting of: -NHC(O)RC(O)NHR1 and -NH-R-C(O)-or a combination thereof, wherein R is an alkylene group of at least about 2 carbon atoms, and R1 is R or aryl. The present invention also includes a process for preparing the article of manufacture.
