  • compositions of our invention which -rcontain 60 percent. or less of hydrophilic material material are generally obtained in the form of polymeric hydrosols, while thosecompositions containing more than 60 percent hydrophilic-material are generally obtained in the form of solutions, the particle size of which is considerably smaller than those particles found in the polymeric hydrosols.
  • each of these types of compositions can be advantageously employed.
  • Those polymeric compositions containing in excess of 60 percent hydrophilic material are readily soluble in warm water and can be redispersed from a dried film of the polymer. Thus, it is possible to dry these particular polymeric solutions and store them for prolonged periods of time in dried form.
  • the dried polymers can thereafter be readily dispersed in warm water and used in emulsion formulas of the instant invention in the same manner as the original aqueous solution or dispersion. Because of'its inherent water solubility or dispersibility, the polymeric composition need not be mixed with gelatin prior to drying.
  • the protein component is preferably an unsubstituted or acylated gelatin, hydrolyzed gelatin, glue, casein, or soy protein.
  • the casein is particularly useful when it has first'been modified by treating in solution with hydrogen peroxide at an alkaline-pH and at an elevated temperature to cause some oxidation.
  • the protein can be completely unmodified, however, and such unmodified proteins give entirely satisfactory results.
  • acyl protein derivatives can be employed providing such de rivatives do not contain any ethylenic or carbon-to-carbon unsaturation, which would cause the derivative to enter into a copolymer reaction with the monomer or monomers, rather than the-graftpolymerization.
  • the polymeric compositions of our invention can be mixed directly with aqueous solutions of gelatin, or similar naturally occurring hydrophilic colloidal protein materials, which have been rendered soluble or dispersible in water.
  • the hydrosols or solutions employed in our invention are compatible with protein in all proportions and they can be used alone or with varying amounts of another protein, such as from 5 to percent by weight of gelatin or other protein materials.
  • the coatings which are obtained from the polymeric compositions of our invention when used alone, or in admixture with gelatin or 'the like, have good Optical clarity. That is, by using a graft polymer, polymeric compositions are obtained which have a refractive index quite similar to that of the unmodified protein material.
  • the properties of the polymeric compositions employed in the invention will depend, of course, on the particular ingredients going into the polymerization. Generally speaking, the alkyl acrylates containing from 2 to it) carbon atoms in the alkyl group, the alkyl methac- -rylates containing from 4 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl group'and the diolelins (butadiene, isoprene, chloroprene, and the like) give polymeric compositions having moderate flexibility.
