Compositions prepared using an ionic crosslinking agent and methods of making the same

Abstract

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an ionic crosslinking agent (e.g., compositions comprising crosslinked products prepared by ionically crosslinking a polymer derived from styrene and optionally butadiene using an ionic crosslinking agent). The present disclosure also relates to methods of making the disclosed compositions. The compositions disclosed herein can be used in a variety of applications including, but not limited to, asphalt compositions, paints, coatings, carpet compositions, paper binding and coating compositions, foams, or adhesives.
