Abstract
Latexes are provided which may comprise water and resin particles comprising a polymerization product of reactants comprising a dioxane/dioxolane monomer and an additional monomer, wherein the dioxane/dioxolane monomer is an ester of (meth)acrylic acid with an alcohol comprising a dioxane moiety, an ester of (meth)acrylic acid with an alcohol comprising a dioxolane moiety, or both.
Claims14
A latex comprising water and resin particles comprising a polymerization product of reactants comprising glycerol formal (meth)acrylate;
- styrene;
- an alkyl (meth)acrylate;
- methacrylic acid, styrene sulfonic acid, or both methacrylic acid and styrene sulfonic acid;
- a reactive surfactant;
- a multifunctional monomer;
- and optionally, a chain transfer agent, an initiator, or both the chain transfer agent and the initiator,
- wherein the resin particles have a room temperature viscosity at a solids content of about 30% and at about pH 3 in a range of from about 10 cP to about 100 cP, and further wherein the latex is free of any other polymer other than that provided by the resin particles.
A latex consisting of water and resin particles, the resin particles comprising a polymerization product of reactants comprising glycerol formal (meth)acrylate and an additional monomer.
