Abstract
Abstract A method for producing porous vinyl chloride-ethylene copolymers containing at least 98.1 per cent by weight of vinyl chloride and 0.3 to 1.9 per cent by weight of ethylene which comprises continuous one-stage suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride and ethylene; and the vinyl chloride-ethylene copolymers produced thereby.
