By a new process, inverse microlatices of watersoluble copolymers are prepared by copolymerization within an inverse microemulsion obtained by admixing an aqueous phase containing the hydrosoluble monomers to be copolymerized, an organic phase and a non-ionic surfactant or a mixture of non-ionic surfactants, whose H L B ranges from 8 to 11. The resultant microlatices can be diluted in water so as to form thickened solutions, which can be used to improve the production of hydrocarbons from oil formations, particularly in enhanced recovery methods or methods for preventing water inflows in producing wells.

Process for manufacturing inverse microlatices of watersoluble

Coating composition for protecting bodies immersed in sea water, comprising

Anti-corrosion and anti-fouling marine coatings

Organo metallic polymer compositions useful as constituents of anti-fouling paints for marine structures, comprising a main chain consisting of a chlorinated polymer of a conjugated diene monomer such, for example, as a chlorinated polybutadiene of high 1, 2 units content, and at least one grafted chain formed at least partly of recurrent units having a pendant organotin group or tin salt function, wherein the grafted chains also contain recurrent units derived from at least one hydrophilic non-metallic unsaturated organic monomer.

Organometallic polymer compositions useful as constituents of

A method of protecting submerged articles from fouling by applying a surface pellicle of a coating substance containing an anti-fouling amount of an organo metallic composition comprising a main chain consisting of a chlorinated polymer of a conjugated diene monomer such, for example, as a chlorinated polybutadiene of high 1, 2 units content, and at least one grafted chain formed at least partly of recurrent units having a pendant organotin group or tin salt function.

Cyanocarboxylate polymers and copolymers are prepared by reacting a polymer or copolymer of conjugated diolefin with a cyanocarboxylate compound of the formula: ##EQU1## where R and R' are hydrogen atoms or alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or acyl groups of 1-12 carbon atoms, or R is a COOR' group or halogen. The resulting polymers or copolymers are useful as finishing agents or additives for unsaturated elastomers.
