Improved anionic sizes of alkali metal or ammonium salts of copolymers of 0.5- 50% by weight of an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic half ester of .alpha.,.beta.-monoolefinisch unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, 6-40% by weight of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid and 40-85% by weight of an aromatic monovinyl compound such as styrene.
A nitrile group-containing, highly saturated copolymer rubber is disclosed, the copolymer chain of which is comprised of (1) 5 to 40% by weight of units of an unsaturated nitrile monomer, (2) 1 to 80% by weight of units of a monomer selected from a fluorine-free unsaturated carboxylic acid ester monomer and a fluorine-containing vinyl monomer and (3) up to 20% by weight of units of a conjugated diene monomer, with the balance being (4) units of a hydrogenated conjugated diene monomer, wherein the sum of the contents of the monomer units (1) and (2) is 30 to 90% and the sum of the contents of the monomer units (3) and (4) is 10 to 70% by weight. This copolymer rubber results in a rubber composition having an improved cold resistance.
A process for producing a water-soluble acid amide compound which comprises heating (a) a carboxylic acid compound having at least one carboxyl group in the molecule and being incapable of forming a 5-membered cyclic acid imide linkage and (b) a primary or secondary amine compound in an aqueous medium to introduce an acid amide linkage into the molecule.
