Solid lithium and ammonium salts of poly(acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid) and use thereof to thicken highly polar organic solvents.

摘要

Novel solid homopolymers of the ammonium salt of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and novel solid homopolymers of the lithium salt of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid are provided. The ammonium salt derivative is soluble in highly polar organic solvents such as the lower alkanols and the lithium salt derivative is soluble in methanol. These homopolymers of salts of acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid are useful in thickening compositions based upon these polar organic solvents.
