Claim:
1. An aqueous personal care, household care, or fabric care composition comprising an effective amount of at least one copolymer of formula (I) wherein a, b, c, and d represent the percentage by weight that each repeating unit or derived monomer is contained within the copolymer; a, b, c, and d add up to total substantially 100 weight percent relative to the total weight of the copolymer; a is from about 81 to about 99.8% by weight of the copolymer; b is from about 0.1% to about 18.9% by weight of the copolymer; c is from about 0.1% to about 18.9% by weight of the copolymer; d is from about 0% to about 18.8% by weight of the copolymer; * is a terminal catalyst residue; A is an amino-substituted vinyl monomer or salt thereof selected from the group consisting of mono-(C1-C4)alkylamino(C1-C8)alkyl(meth)acrylate, di-(C1-C4)alkylamino(C1-C8)alkyl(meth)acrylate, mono-(C1-C4)alkylamino(C1-C8)alkyl-(meth)acrylamide, di-(C1-C4)alkylamino(C1-C8)alkyl(meth)acrylamide, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic(meth)acrylamide, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic (meth)acrylate, and mixtures thereof; B is a hydrophobic nonionic vinyl monomer selected from the group consisting of C C is an associative monomer of formula (V) wherein each R2 is independently H, methyl, —C(O)OH, or —C(O)OR3; R3 is C1-C30 alkyl; T is —CH D is an associative vinyl monomer selected from the group consisting of cetyl polyethoxylated methacrylate (CEM), cetearyl polyethoxylated methacrylate (CSEM), stearyl polyethoxylated (meth)acrylate, arachidyl polyethoxylated (meth)acrylate, behenyl polyethoxylated methacrylate (BEM), lauryl polyethoxylated methacrylate (LEM), cerotyl polyethoxylated (meth)acrylate, monthanyl polyethoxylated (meth)acrylate, melissyl polyethoxylated (meth)acrylate, lacceryl polyethoxylated (meth) acrylate, tristyryl phenolpolyethoxylated methacrylate (TEM), hydrogenated castor oil polyethoxylated methacrylate (HCOEM), canola polyethoxylated (meth)acrylate, and cholesterol polyethoxylated methacrylate (CHEM), A, B, C, and D, when present, are covalently attached to each other; with the proviso that when both C and D are present in the copolymer, C and D are not the same.
