Abstract:
A polymer comprising:a) at least one monomer unit; andb) at least one surface active agent unit; whereinthe monomer unit is derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer; andthe surface active agent unit is derived from a polymerizable surface active agent having the formula: ##STR35##where R.sub.n and R.sub.m independently represent hydrogen or methyl; and X.sup.- representsan anion selected from fatty alkyl benzene sulfonates, fatty alkyl carboxylates, fatty alkyl ether sulfates, fatty sulfates, and fatty alkyl phenol ethoxylates of phosphoric acid, where each fatty alkyl portion has from about 4-18 carbon atoms,and the ethylenically unsaturated monomer and the polymerizable surface active agent have co-polymerized to form the polymer.
