Abstract
Compositions comprising acid salts of amine-functionalized styrene-maleic anhydride resins are disclosed. The salts can be dissolved in organic solvents, UV/EB polymerizable monomers and/or oligomers, and/or water and act as a polymeric surfactants to disperse pigments or fillers, emulsifying agents, or hard resin additives in a variety of formulations. The compositions react under UV/EB cure conditions, and provide enhanced properties such as cure speed, hardness and adhesion to polymer compositions.

A composition comprising a salt of an unsaturated carboxylic acid and an amine-functionalized styrene-maleic anhydride imide copolymer.
A method comprising dispersing, emulsifying, crosslinking, hardening, or conferring adhesion properties to a polymer, oligomer, or monomer by adding a salt of an unsaturated carboxylic acid and an amine-functionalized styrene-maleic anhydride imide copolymer to the polymer, oligomer, or monomer.
