Abstract
Aqueous, uncured but curable, polymer compositions which are stable at room temperature and possess excellent shelf life in uncured form are disclosed. The uncured polymer compositions can be made into fibers using conventional fiber forming processes and cured to produce absorbent fibers capable of absorbing at least 60 times their weight of brine.
