Abstract:
A hydrophilic low acid content resin includes a polymerization product of a mixture including at least one (meth)acrylate and at least one (meth)acrylic acid; wherein the resin is water soluble; and the resin exhibits an acid value from 0 to about 120.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a polyoxazoline includes feeding continuously an oxazoline, a solvent, and a catalyst to a continuous stirred tank reactor at a rate which provides for a residence time sufficient to achieve ring opening of the oxazoline and polymerize the oxazoline; exiting a polyoxazoline solution from the continuous stirred reactor, the polyoxazoline solution including polyoxazoline, solvent, and, optionally, unreacted oxazoline, low molecular weight oligomeric oxazoline, or a mixture thereof; removing the solvent, and, optionally, unreacted oxazoline, low molecular weight oligomeric oxazoline, or a mixture thereof from the polyoxazoline solution; and recovering the polyoxazoline.
