A curable aqueous composition that includes a first polymer that includes carboxyl groups, and a second component that includes a second water insoluble polymer and a stabilizer. The second component includes functional groups that react with the carboxyl groups of the first polymer during cure, is free from carboxylic acid groups, or a combination thereof. The composition, when dry, exhibits a first Tg of at least 10&#xb0; C. and a second Tg of at least 50&#xb0; C.

Curable aqueous composition

The present invention relates to a crosslinked aqueous solution polymer composition consisting of about 15 wt-% to about 50 wt-% of at least one water soluble monomer, preferably an alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer and a crosslinking agent. The polymer solution is sufficiently low enough in viscosity such that it can be applied in aqueous form, yet after crosslinking possesses a fast rate of acquisition and is high absorption capacity. The invention also relates to new methods of enhancing the absorbency of various articles, increasing the humectancy and/or absorbency of a fiber or fibrous matrix, improving the water retention of soil and other agricultural methods, and increasing the open time of cement by incorporating or applying an aqueous superabsorbent polymer composition.

Aqueous superabsorbent polymer and methods of use

A latex comprising a free radically polymerized product, said product comprising at least two ethylenically unsaturated monomers, at least one of said monomers having an isocyanate group which is sterically hindered or blocked and at least one other of said ethylenically unsaturated monomers being free of isocyanate functional groups, in an aqueous emulsion in the presence of a free-radical polymerization catalyst, in a manner such that the sterically hindered or blocked isocyanate groups distribute in the outer layer of the latex particle and the method of making such.
