Process for making a polymer with desired groups Y comprising reacting a precursor polymer having carbon- or nitrogen-bound --NH.sub.2 and/or --NH-- groups with at least one compound having a single enolic carbonyl group and at least one group Y. Also the polymer itself and a composition containing it.

Incorporation of desired groups into polymers, the polymers so produced,

Method for removing radically-polymerisable unsaturated monomer from a dispersion of a polymer, made by non-enzymic polymerisation, by treating the polymer dispersion with a peroxide-generating enzyme (such as an oxidase) and an enzyme substrate(s), and usually oxygen, optionally with a reducing agent, under conditions to effect a reduction in the level of the residual monomer.

Removal of residual monomers from polymers using peroxide-generating

Film-forming coating composition for application to a polypropylene substrate, which comprises a polypropylene-adherable polymer P which has a polymer backbone having pendant and/or terminal groups which comprise a moiety of formulae ##STR1## where n is 2 to 500; R.sup.1 is alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is H or an alkyl or alkenyl group of 1 to 3 carbons, and X is H or halogen and Y is H or halogen. Typically R.sup.1 is methyl, R.sup.2 is H, and X and Y are H. The composition optionally includes a filmogenic polymer Q, different to P.

Coating composition and polymer for use therein

A nonionic dispersing agent suitable for use in the production of aqueous polyurethane dispersions, said agent having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing 1-12 carbon atoms;

Aqueous dispersions

A surfactant-free aqueous polymer dispersion containing an anionic water-dispersible polyurethane and a vinyl polymer in a weight ratio of from 10:90 to 90:10, said dispersion having been obtained by:

A non-ionic dispersing agent

An aqueous dispersion of a water-dispersible polyurethane having pendent fluoroalkyl groups, said polyurethane being the product of chain extending, in aqueous medium, a water-dispersible, isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer having pendent fluoroalkyl groups.

Aqueous dispersion of a polyurethane having pendent fluoroalkyl groups

An aqueous selfcrosslinkable coating composition which comprises an aqueous dispersion of at least one polymer having chain-pendant amine groups and certain selected non-polymeric ketone-containing compounds, particularly acetoacetates and acetoacetamides, whereby selfcrosslinking is effected, often at ambient or low temperatures, during and/or after film formation.

Aqueous coating compositions

An aqueous selfcrosslinkable coating composition which comprises an aqueous dispersion of at least one vinyl polymer, wherein the polymer system constituting said at least one vinyl polymer has chain-pendant amine functional groups and chain-pendant carbonyl functional groups to provide a selfcrosslinking reaction during and/or after coating formation from the composition. The vinyl polymers having both amine and carbonyl groups are also claimed.

Aqueous selfcrosslinkable coating composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of at least one polyurethane and having hydrazine (or hydrazone) functional groups and carbonyl functional groups disposed therein to provide a selfcrosslinking reaction, in which the polyurethane polymer takes part, via azomethine formation during and/or after film formation.
