END-MODIFIED BRANCHED BLOCK COPOLYMERS AS DUAL-FUNCTIONAL SOIL SURFACTANTS AND HUMECTANTS

This invention relates to end-modified branched block copolymers for soil treatment applications. The end-modified branched block copolymers contain an alkoxylated block copolymer modified with a hydrophobic end group such as an alkysuccinic acid ester, a fatty acid ester, or an ether. Soils treated...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to end-modified branched block copolymers for soil treatment applications. The end-modified branched block copolymers contain an alkoxylated block copolymer modified with a hydrophobic end group such as an alkysuccinic acid ester, a fatty acid ester, or an ether. Soils treated with these copolymers exhibit improved soil water penetration properties with enhanced atmospheric moisture absorption and provide overall healthier turf and/or plants contained therein.
