Abstract
A water-containing composition containing a linear aminoplast-ether copolymer of the formula: ##STR1## where the divalent R.sub.01 contains a divalent alkyleneoxy containing moiety, Amp is the skeletal residue of an aminoplast, R is hydrogen, alkyl containing 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, and acyl containing 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, p is a positive number that is equal to the free valence of Amp minus 2, RO is bonded to alkylene units of Amp, and a is a number greater than 1.

A water-containing composition comprising a minor amount of a linear aminoplast-ether copolymer of the formula:
- ##STR24## where the divalent R.sub.01 contains a divalent alkyleneoxy containing moiety, Amp is the skeletal residue of an aminoplast, R is hydrogen, alkyl containing 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, or acyl containing 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, p is a positive number that is equal to the free valence of Amp minus 2, RO is bonded to alkylene units of Amp, and a is a number greater than 1.
A water-containing composition comprising a linear aminoplast-ether copolymer of the formula:
- ##STR25## where the divalent R.sub.01 contains a divalent alkyleneoxy containing moiety, Amp is the skeletal residue of an aminoplast, R is hydrogen, alkyl containing 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, or acyl containing 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, p is a positive number that is equal to the free valence of Amp minus 2, RO is bonded to alkylene units of Amp, a is a number greater than 1 and wherein the linear aminoplast-ether co-polymer contains one or more hydrophobic pendant groups whereby the copolymer contains a unit of the formula:
- ##STR26## wherein R.sub.02 is a hydrophobic group, different from RO-, that is covalently bonded to Amp through a heteroatom and contains at least two carbon atoms,
- p2 is number that is equal to the free valence of Amp minus (2+q), and q is a positive number.
A water-containing composition comprising a major amount of water and a minor amount of the linear copolymerization reaction product of a polyfunctional aminoplast with a polyalkylene oxide of the formula:
- H- Alkylene Oxide -H
- where "alkylene oxide" is a divalent moiety containing at least two alkylene oxide units whether joined or separated, and the terminal H groups are active hydrogen, in the presence of an acid catalyst provided in a catalytically effective amount.
A water-containing composition containing a linear aminoplast-ether copolymer made by the polymerization reaction of a polyfunctional aminoplast with an ether containing two active hydrogen terminal groups, in the presence of an acid catalyst provided in catalytically effective amounts until a desired molecular weight is achieved.
