A formulation contains an anionically stabilized dispersion of polymer particles, a polymeric polyamine and an inorganic filler has a pH in a range of 6.0 to 8.5, viscosity greater than 15000 centipoise, and is free of volatile base, aminosilanes, and quaternary poly(allylamine).

Disclosed herein is an aqueous latex composition comprising latex particles dispersed in an aqueous solution, wherein the latex particles are polymerized from at least one acrylic monomer in a substantially solvent-free, waterborne environment, and a 2-oxazoline compound is incorporated onto the latex particles. The 2-oxazoline compound has the following structure:

##STR00001##

The 2-oxazoline compound is present from about 1 wt. % to about 5 wt. %. The 2-oxazoline may be grafted onto the latex particles. R1 moiety may be free of an acyclic organic radical having addition polymerizable unsaturation moiety. The aqueous latex composition may also comprises an acid monomer.

The present invention provides a carboxyl group-containing copolymer having a better calcium ion trapping ability and a better carbon black dispersing ability than any conventional carboxyl group-containing copolymers. The present invention relates to a carboxyl group-containing copolymer including a structural unit (a) derived from an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid monomer (A), a structural unit (b) derived from an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid monomer (B), and a structural unit (c) derived from a cationic monomer (C).
