Claims
- 1. An ionically associated blend of a styrenic polymer and an ethylenic polymer which comprises:
- (a) at least about 60 weight % of an ionic styrenic polymer; and
- (b) at least about 1 weight % of an ionic ethylenic polymer;
- said ionic styrenic polymer being a ammonium salt of a polymer having polymerized therein at least about 70 weight % of styrene or a right alkyl-substituted styrene and about 1-30 weight % of an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer polymerizable therewith; said ethylenic polymer being a ammonium salt of a polymer having polymerized therein at least about 60 weight % ethylene and about 1-40 weight % of an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer polymerizable therewith.
- 2. A blend of claim 1 in which both the styrenic polymer and the ethylenic polymer have polymerized therein about 3-20 weight % of the ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer.
- 3. A blend of claim 2 in which the ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer polymerized in both the styrenic and ethylenic polymer is acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.
