摘要 |
A thermoreversible thickener comprising a water-soluble copolymer containing as constituent monomer at least 50% by weight of a vinyl carboxylic ester of a cylic amine or a non-cyclic amine with at least 5 carbons with an alkylene oxide added thereto. The thickener, with a transition temperature which can be easily controlled according to the purpose of application such as coating, rolling oil, adhesives or inks, has a characteristic such that heating the aqueous solution thereof up to a temperature above the transition temperature causes rapid thickening of the solution.
