Abstract
The present invention provides crosslinkable latex compositions formed by free-radical emulsion polymerization of monoethylenically unsaturated monomers containing an amide functionality and optionally, additional copolymerizable monoethylenically unsaturated monomers. The amide functionality on the polymer is transformed into isocyanate and/or amine groups by addition of an alkali hypohalide. The polymer may further include an optional crosslinking additive to further facilitate crosslinking of the latex.
