Abstract:
A composition comprising:a) a first monomer having the formula CH2&boxH;CHCOOR1, where R1 is a linear alkyl group having from 9 to 16 carbon atoms or a branched alkyl group having from 9 to 30 carbon atoms, and whose homopolymer has a Tg less than 0Â° C.; b) a second monomer having the formula CH2&boxH;CHCOOR2, where R2 is an alkyl group having at least 9 carbon atoms whose homopolymer has Tg greater than 15Â° C.; and c) a component comprising any of: i) a monomer having the formula CH2CHCONHCR5R6COWP, where Rand R6 are alkyl groups having from 1 to 14 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl groups having from 3 to 14 carbon atoms, aryl groups having from 5 to 12 carbon atoms, an arene group having from 6 to 16 carbon atoms and no greater than 3 atoms selected from the group consisting of S, N, and non-peroxide O, or where R5 and R6 when taken together with the carbon atoms to which they are connected form a carboxylic ring having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, W is O, NH, or a divalent connecting group, and P is ArR7, where Ar is an styrene group and R7 is a linear or branched alkyl or alkoxy group, an aryl group, or an alkarylene group such that the total number of carbon atoms in ArR7 is at least 10, or where x is from 1 to 4, and R8 is a linear or branched alkyl group having at least 4 carbon atoms;ii) a monomer having the formula: where R9 is H or CH3, x is from 1 to 4, and R10 is a linear or branched alkyl group having at least 4 carbon atoms;iii) a monomer having the formula CH2&boxH;CHCOO(R11)nOCOCH&boxH;CH2, where R11 is a linear or branched alkylene and n is at least 6; iv) a polymer having a molecular weight greater than about 1500 and being soluble in at least one of said first monomer and said second monomer; v) surface-modified particles, or vi) combinations thereof.
