Claim Text:
1. A polymer comprising: a first domain having a Tg of from −80 to −10° C. and consisting of polymerized units of acrylic monomer selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid, C a non-crosslinked second domain having a Tg of from 80 to 110° C. and consisting of polymerized units of styrene or derivatives of styrene; wherein the content of the second domain ranges from greater than 6 wt. % to 30 wt. % of the total weight of the first domain and the second domain, and wherein the first domain constitutes a continuous phase in a polymer particle, which constitutes a matrix for one or more other discrete phase or domain(s) to be embedded in, and wherein the second domain constitutes one or more discrete domains in the polymer particle and is embedded in the matrix of the first domain.
