Abstract

above about −25° C.; and (ii) each of said polymer precursor(s) comprises other than a functional group selected from the group consisting of: hydroxy, carboxy, acid anhydride, nitro, epoxy and amino; (c) from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of at least one polymer precursor comprising at least one activated unsaturated moiety (conveniently ethylenically unsaturated monomer) having at least one carboxy and/or acid anhydride group(s); and (d) optionally up to about 60% by weight of at least one further optionally substituted polymer precursor comprising at least one activated unsaturated moiety (conveniently ethylenically unsaturated monomer) where the further optional substituent(s) are other than carboxy and/or acid anhydride group(s) where each of the constituents ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ and optionally constituent ‘d’ are different from each other with the additional proviso that Polymer P was obtained and/or is obtainable by polymerisation of the each of the constituents ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ and optionally constituent ‘d’ in the presence of a water soluble initiator in an amount above about 0.35% and optionally up to about 2% by weight of the total monomer composition.
