Acrylic polymer compositions with crystalline side chains and processes for their preparation

摘要

Acrylic polymer compositions with crystalline side chains are disclosed. Solution polymerization, aqueous suspension polymerization, and aqueous dispersion polymerization processes for the preparation of the acrylic polymer compositions with crystalline side chains are also disclosed. Methods of use for the acrylic polymer compositions with crystalline side chains, including dry powder coatings; wax replacements in floor polishes and wood coatings; nonwoven and textile coatings; adhesives; and hot melt adhesives are also disclosed.
