<p>The present invention is directed to a latex composition comprising: a liquid phase selected from water, water-miscible solvents, or mixtures thereof; and from about 5 to about 50 percent by weight of latex particles dispersed in the aqueous phase. The latex particles comprise an elastomeric hydrophobic core and an outer hydrophilic shell attached to the core. The core comprises a polymer comprising one or more elastomer forming monomeric units and one or more carboxylate containing monomeric units. The shell comprises moieties L-X, wherein L comprises a hydrophobic hydrocarbyl group containing one or more unsaturated bonds and X is a hydrophilic group. The present invention is also directed to a process for making such a latex composition. The present invention is also directed to a paper sheet and an absorbent structure (e.g., a disposable diaper) comprising such a latex composition.</p> |
