Abstract

A water-soluble, thermoplastic, organic polymer is disclosed having segments of bunched monovalent hydrophobic groups. These polymers provide superior thickening and leveling in aqueous systems, through micelle-like associations, and aid suspension of particulate materials in non-aqueous systems.
