The present invention is a method of preparing a high internal phase ratio emulsion without phase inversion comprising the steps of:

Process for preparing high internal phase ratio emulsions and latexes

The invention concerns certain insecticidal compositions of ingestible insecticides selected from the group consisting of DNA viruses, RNA viruses and bacteria of the order Bacillus such as, for example, Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis entrapped by a suitable charged polymer. The invention also concerns a process for the preparation of and the use of such insecticidal compositions.

Insecticidal compositions and process for preparation thereof

Substantially oil-free aqueous industrial fluids possess superior lubricating and wear preventing characteristics and are useful as hydraulic fluids and metalworking compositions. Fluids of the invention comprise (1) an aqueous liquid and (2) a water-soluble synthetic addition copolymer of (a) an ethylenically unsaturated crosslinking monomer, (b) an ethylenically unsaturated water-soluble monomer, and (c) an ethylenically unsaturated water-insoluble monomer. The industrial fluids exhibit good Newtonian behavior and mechanical stability at high shear.

Water-based hydraulic fluids

Pharmacologically-acceptable fat imbibing polymers are introduced into the gastrointestinal tract of animals to control body weight.

Weight control with fat imbibing polymers

Cement compositions having improved strength and enhanced adhesion to siliceous substrates are obtained by admixing Portland cement with a cement additive comprising (1) a styrene-butadiene interpolymeric latex containing up to about 60 parts by weight of interpolymer solids, said latex being present in an amount sufficient to provide from about 5 to about 25 parts by weight of latex polymer solids based on the weight of cement and (2) from about 0.05 to about 3 parts by weight of latex solids of a silane of the formula ZSi(OR').sub.3 wherein Z is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon groups and substituted hydrocarbon groups in which the substituent is bonded to the silicon atom through at least one carbon atom, and R' is selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OR' and --CH.sub.2 CHOH where R' is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of 1 to 3 inclusive carbon atoms.

Styrene-butadiene interpolymer latex based cement additives containing a

This invention is directed to cement additives comprising (1) a polymer latex containing up to about 60 parts by weight of latex polymer solids consisting essentially of (A) the polymerized product of (a) a monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, vinyl toluene and tertiary butyl styrene, (b) an alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and (c) arcylamide or methacrylamide, and (B) a butadiene rubber, (2) a nonionic surfactant and (3) a polyorganosiloxane foam depressant; and to portland cement compositions containing these additives, such cement compositions being characterized by having excellent strength and adhesion to cementitious substrates.

Cement additives comprising a polymer latex containing a

This invention is directed to cement additives consisting essentially of (1) a styrene-butadiene interpolymer latex, (2) a nonionic surfactant, (3) a polyelectrolyte comprising the product obtained by copolymerizing methylmethacrylate and a sulfoester of .alpha.-methylene carboxylic acid or its salt, and (4) a polyorganosiloxane foam depressant, which additives provide portland cement compositions having excellent strength properties, workability and adhesion to cementitious substrates.
