Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
In a process for the emulsion polymerization of at least one olefinic monomer containing at least one olefinic carbon-to-carbon double bond, wherein said monomer is polymerized in an aqueous medium in the presence of a surfactant and a water-soluble initiator, the improvement wherein the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of phosphate esters having the formula ##EQU5## and ##EQU6## and mixtures of (I) and (II) thereof, wherein M is hydrogen, alkali metal, or an ammonium or amino cation having the formula ##EQU7## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or cycloalkyl of 3 to 6 carbon atoms and R is a straight chain alkyl of 8 to 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
In a process for the emulsion polymerization of at least one olefinic monomer containing at least one olefinic carbon-to-carbon double bond, wherein said monomer is polymerized in an aqueous medium in the presence of a surfactant and a water-soluble initiator, the improvement wherein the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of phosphate esters having the formula ##EQU5## and ##EQU6## and mixtures of (I) and (II) thereof, wherein M is hydrogen, alkali metal, or an ammonium or amino cation having the formula ##EQU7## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or cycloalkyl of 3 to 6 carbon atoms and R is a straight chain alkyl of 8 to 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said olefinic monomer is a mixture of a vinyl halide and a co-monomer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process according to claim 3, wherein said co-monomer is a vinyl ester or an ester of an olefinically unsaturated acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said phosphate ester is a mixture of esters of formulas (I) and (II).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words

Dependent Claim
12 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein M is an alkali metal.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
52 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein M is an ammonium or amino cation having the formula ##EQU8## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms and cycloalkyl of 3 to 6 carbon atoms.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein said olefinic monomer is vinyl chloride.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
