Described are methods and composition for inhibiting polymerization of a monomer (e.g., styrene) composition using an aminated quinone antipolymerant, such as an aminated benzoquinone or aminated naphthoquinone antipolymerant having one or more secondary or tertiary amine group(s). The aminated quinone antipolymerant can be used with little or no nitroxyl group containing antipolymerant yet still provide excellent antipolymerant activity in a monomer-containing composition.

The present invention provides a fiber modifier composed of an internal olefin sulfonate having 17 or more and 24 or less carbons.

The present invention provides a fiber modifier composed of an internal olefin sulfonate having 17 or more and 24 or less carbons.

The present invention is a method for washing a textile product, including the following step 1 and step 2: step 1: a step of treating the textile product by contacting the textile product with treating liquid 1 obtained by mixing water and (A) an internal olefin sulfonate having 17 or more and 24 or less carbons [hereinafter, referred to as component (A)]; and step 2: a step of treating the textile product treated in step 1 by contacting the textile product with treating liquid 2 obtained by mixing water and a finishing agent composition for textile products.

A monomer has the structure ##STR00001##
wherein R is an organic group comprising a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond or carbon-carbon triple bond; X and Y are independently at each occurrence hydrogen or a non-hydrogen substituent; EWG1 and EWG2 are independently at each occurrence an electron-withdrawing group; p is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4; n is 1, 2, 3, or 4; and M.sup.+ is an organic cation. A polymer prepared from monomer is useful as a component of a photoresist composition.
