Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method that includes polymerizing a nitrile with an acrylate ester to form a copolymer, in a mixture that includes water and an alcohol (R.sub.2-OH), according to the following reaction ##STR00001## where R.sub.1 includes at least one of a first aliphatic group or hydrogen, R.sub.2 comprises at least one of a second aliphatic group or hydrogen, 100=m=4000, and 1=n=4000. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mixture may be an emulsion.
