Abstract
A process for producing functionalized polyolefin emulsions is provided. The process comprising heating at least one functionalized polyolefin, at least one non-ionic surfactant, at least one neutralizing base, at least one carboxylic acid co-surfactant, and water to produce the functionalized polyolefin emulsion; wherein the carboxylic acid co-surfactant is selected from the group consisting of a linear organic carboxylic acid and an alicyclic carboxylic acid.

A process to produce a functionalized polyolefin emulsion comprising heating at least one functionalized polyolefin, at least one non-ionic surfactant, at least one neutralizing base, at least one carboxylic acid co-surfactant, and water to produce said functionalized polyolefin emulsion;
- wherein said functionalized polyolefin has a grafting level ranging from about 0.5% by weight to about 2.5% by weight based on the weight of said functionalized polyolefin;
- wherein said non-ionic surfactant has a HLB ranging from about 4 to about 10;
- and wherein said carboxylic acid co-surfactant comprises at least one linear organic carboxylic acid in an amount less than or equal to 16 parts per hundred parts of said functionalized polyolefin.
