Novel compounds represented by the formula wherein R1 is alkyl containing 8 to 24 carbon atoms, alkaryl wherein the alkyl substituent contains 6 to 12 carbon atoms; R2 is hydrogen or methyl and x is an integer having a value of 3 to 40. These compounds are capable of being radiation polymerized and grafted to a textile substrate to impart surfactant properties to the textile. They are also useful in the preparation of hydrophilic latex binders. |
