Patent ID: 8119733

Claim:
A polymer network, comprising a reaction product made by interfacial polymerization at an interface between an aqueous liquid phase and a water immiscible liquid phase or a water insoluble particle of: (A) a surfactant monomer comprising one or more compounds selected from: (1) alkylamide monomers according to formula (III): wherein R 10 is a hydrophobic group, (2) alkylamine or alkylether amine compounds according to formula (IV) or (V): wherein R 11 and R 12 are each independently hydrophobic groups and n and n′ are each integers of from 1 to about 50, (3) compounds according to formula (VI): wherein R 13 is a hydrophobic group, and m and n are each independently integers of from 2 to 4, and (4) compounds according to structure (VII): wherein R 14 is a hydrophobic group, and p, q, and r are each integers, wherein the sum of p+q+r is from about 0 to about 200, and (B) an isocyanate-functional-crosslinking agent for the surfactant monomer, and (C) optionally, a reactive polymeric surfactant having reactive functional groups that are reactive with functional groups of the surfactant monomer, with the functional groups of the crosslinking agent, or with functional groups of the surfactant monomer and functional groups of the crosslinking agent.
