Succinimide containing polymers and latices prepared from same.

摘要

Water-insoluble, noncrosslinking, nonporous copolymers are provided which have recurring units derived from: (a) from 80 to 99.9 mole percent of one or more ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable oleophilic monomers which provide hydrophobicity to the copolymer, provided that none of the monomers are crosslinking monomers, (b) from 0.1 to 20 mole percent of one or more ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers having a succinimidoxycarbonyl group, and (c) from 0 to 10 mole percent of one or more ionic or polar hydrophilic ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers. These copolymers have a variety of uses, including diagnostic assays. v
