  • Patent number: 4379883
    Abstract: A chemically initiated water-in-oil emulsion polymerization process is disclosed for making water-soluble anionic copolymers from water-soluble, ethylenically unsaturated, addition polymerizable monomers. Improved products are obtained by adding a water-soluble salt to the aqueous phase of the water-in-oil emulsion prior to polymerization.

  • Patent number: 4353993
    Abstract: Improved rosin-based foams suitable for surface application to fibrous substrates such as paper and paperboard are described. The foams are obtained by aerating an aqueous solution having a pH of at least 8 and containing 0.1 to 5% of a water-soluble salt of rosin or fortified rosin and 0.02 to 5% of a water-soluble, amine-containing polymer compatible with the salt, the weight ratio of the salt to the polymer being within the range of 1:1 to 25:1.
