Abstract: A surfactant-modified polymer and method of making the same. The surfactant-modified polymer has a polycarboxylate backbone with non-ionic surfactant chemically associated therewith and is formed by the reaction of a reactant compound selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids, polycarboxylic acids and mixtures thereof in an aqueous media in the presence of a nonionic surfactant.

Abstract: A stable detergent emulsion composed of:(a) a free nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkylene oxide adducts of polyhydric compounds, alkyl aryl ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxylates and mixtures thereof;(b) a polymeric emulsion stabilizer for the free nonionic surfactant, wherein the polymeric emulsion stabilizer is the reaction product of a reactant compound selected from the group consisting of unsaturated carboxylic acids, polycarboxylic acids, and mixtures thereof polymerized in the presence of a water-soluble nonionic surfactant; and(c) water.
