Abstract:
An allylic copolymer that comprises(a) about 0.1% by weight to about 10% by weight of a multi-ethylenic monomeric units; (b) about 5% by weight to about 40% by weight of a mono-allylic monomeric units; wherein the mono-allylic monomer is selected from the group consisting of allyl and methallyl alcohols, ethoxylated allyl and methallyl alcohols of 1 to 5 oxyethylene units, and propoxylated allyl and methallyl alcohols of 1 to 5 oxypropylene units; and (c) about 50% by weight to about 95% by weight of a mono-ethylenic monomeric units; said polymer has a weight average molecular weight greater than about 10,000, a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) greater than about 5, and a gel content less than about 10% by weight.
