Abstract: Disclosed herein are aqueous coating compositions containing an anionically stabilized polymer, one or more derivatized polyamines, and a volatile base. Coating compositions can farther include one or more additional copolymers, which may or may not be anionically stabilized, and/or additional additives, including pigments, defoamers, pigment dispersing agents, thickeners, surfactants, and combinations thereof. By incorporating a derivatized polyamine, such as an alkoxylated polyamine, the setting time of the coating compositions can be decreased. Also provided are coatings formed from the coating compositions described herein, as well as methods of forming these coatings.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising a copolymer derived from polymerizing monomers comprising a vinyl aromatic monomer, butadiene, and an acid monomer, in the presence of a chain transfer agent. The chain transfer agent can be present in an amount sufficient to reduce the theoretical glass transition temperature (Tg) of the copolymer by at least 5° C. compared to a copolymer polymerized using identical monomers in the absence of the chain transfer agent. The compositions can be used to prepare compositions such as coatings that have improved water resistance. Methods of making the copolymers are also provided.
