Abstract:
A process for regulating the water retention of soil materials used in agriculture involving providing a composition comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of a urethane, a urethaneurea, a thiocarbamate and mixtures thereof, said polymer comprising hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments; and applying the composition onto soil materials used in agriculture to form a polymer film thereon, wherein the hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments together provide reversible hydrophobic-hydrophilic switching in response to water, such that the film surface switches from a relatively hydrophobic state in dry conditions to a relatively hydrophilic state in response to the presence of water in contact with the film surface.

Claim (Index 4):
The process according to  claim 1 , wherein the polymer is a polymer of a diisocyanate, ester, carbonate or amide linker; a hydrophobic macromonomer having at least two active hydrogen groups selected from hydroxyl, thiol and amine, and a hydrophilic macromonomer having at least two active hydrogen groups selected from hydroxyl, thiol and amine, wherein the hydrophobic macromonomer provides said hydrophobic segment and the hydrophilic macromonomer provides said hydrophilic segment; and wherein the polymer comprises segments of hydrophobic macromonomer and hydrophobic macromonomer joined by linkages selected from urethane, urethaneurea or thiocarbamate linkages.
