Patent ID: 8691900

Claim:
An aqueous-based composition comprising: a) at least one carboxyl group containing (co)polymer containing (i) 10 to 99 mole percentage of one or more carboxyl group containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer(s) selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acid, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, and citraconic acid; and (ii) 1 to 90 mole percentage of aromatic compound that do not contain any carboxyl group; b) at least one polymerizable monomer A containing one acryloyl group selected from acrylic esters of formula (I), wherein R 1 represents hydrogen or C 1-12 alkyl and R 2 is selected from linear or branched C 5-50 alkyl, C 5-50 cycloalkyl, C 5-50 alkenyl, or C 5-50 alkynyl; c) at least one polymerizable compound B containing at least two acryloyl groups; d) at least one encapsulated free radical initiator; and e) water.
