Abstract
The present invention relates to polymeric compositions formed from sulfonated co- or terpolymers which are formed by a free radical co- or terpolymerization process, wherein the resultant co- or terpolymers have an Mn of about 5,000 to 200,000 and these co- or terpolymers have at least about 0.5 weight percent of chemically combined sulfur therein. The free radical co- or terpolymerization process of the instant invention can be generally described as a free radical emulsion polymerization of at least one conjugated diene or a mixture of styrene and butadiene with a sulfonate monomer which is water soluble, at a temperature sufficient to cause polymerization, wherein the initiator is preferably based on a peroxide initiator accelerated by a reducing agent, and suitable surfactants are employed. Upon completion of the free radical polymerization, the resultant latex is coagulated and the water insoluble polymer is recovered.
