| 摘要 |
A polymer of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing a pendant hydrophobic group and, optionally, other monomers such as (meth) acrylic acid, ethyl acrylate or acrylamide is provided as a stable, substantially anhydrous dispersion containing at least 40% by weight of the polymer in a continuous phase of a non-aqueous liquid. The polymer in the dispersion generally includes acid groups and is neutralized, preferably with ammonia or a volatile amine. The dispersion can be made by reverse phase polymerization of an aqueous blend of monomers, followed by dehydration, or by making the polymer from a water insoluble blend of monomers by oil in water emulsion polymerization, dispersing the resultant oil in water emulsion into the non-aqueous liquid, and then dehydrating. The monomer including the hydrophobic group is preferably an allyl ether.
