Abstract
Abstract This invention provides a graft copolymer of at least one acrylic monomer and a cellulose ester, in which at least about 8 percent of the total weight of said graft copolymer is derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or both. It also provides anionic aqueous dispersions of such graft copolymers and coating compositions containing them.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
An aqueous coating composition comprising the neutralized graft copolymer composition prepared by polymerizing an acrylic monomer component comprising acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or both, in a solution which also comprises a solvent and a cellulose ester, under polymerization conditions in the presence of a free radical initiator selected from t-butyl perbenzoate and benzoyl peroxide, wherein said acrylic monomer component and said cellulose ester are employed in amounts sufficient to provide a graft copolymer composition having at least about 8 percent of its total weight derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or both and sufficient to render said neutralized graft copolymer composition water dispersible; neutralizing the graft copolymer composition with ammonia, ammonium hydroxide or a tertiary amine; adding a cross-linking agent; and adding sufficient water to disperse the composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
An aqueous coating composition comprising the neutralized graft copolymer composition prepared by polymerizing an acrylic monomer component comprising acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or both, in a solution which also comprises a solvent and a cellulose ester, under polymerization conditions in the presence of a free radical initiator selected from t-butyl perbenzoate and benzoyl peroxide, wherein said acrylic monomer component and said cellulose ester are employed in amounts sufficient to provide a graft copolymer composition having at least about 8 percent of its total weight derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or both and sufficient to render said neutralized graft copolymer composition water dispersible; neutralizing the graft copolymer composition with ammonia, ammonium hydroxide or a tertiary amine; adding a cross-linking agent; and adding sufficient water to disperse the composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein said acrylic monomer component also comprises one or more monomers selected from methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl acrylate, propyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile, methylacrylonitrile acrylamide, methacrylamide, styrene, p-methylstyrene and lower monoolefins.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The composition of claim 2 wherein said cellulose ester contains 2 wt. % acetyl and 53 wt. % butyryl.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The composition of claim 3 wherein said acrylic monomer component comprises methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, and butyl acrylate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
A substrate coated with the coating composition of claim 1 and baked.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
A coated substrate of claim 5 wherein said substrate is a metal substrate.
