Abstract
Abstract In the emulsion polymerization of a dienic monomer or a mixture containing a dienic monomer and at least one other copolymerizable monomer in an aqueous medium, the deposition of polymer scale on the inner walls of the polymerization reactor and other surfaces in contact with the monomer or monomeric mixture can be remarkably reduced or prevented by providing coating layers of an organopolysiloxane on those surfaces, prior to the polymerization, by applying the organopolysiloxane directly to the surfaces or by applying one or a mixture of hydrolyzable organosilanes to the surfaces, followed by hydrolysis-condensation of the silanes, to form the organopolysiloxane in situ.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
In a method for preparing a polymer with dienic monomer units in a weight fraction of at least 5% by emulsion polymerization in an aqueous medium in the presence of an emulsifier and a polymerization initiator in a polymerization reactor, the improvement comprising forming a coating layer of an organopolysiloxane on the surfaces of the inner walls of the polymerization reactor and other instruments in contact with the polymerization mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
In a method for preparing a polymer with dienic monomer units in a weight fraction of at least 5% by emulsion polymerization in an aqueous medium in the presence of an emulsifier and a polymerization initiator in a polymerization reactor, the improvement comprising forming a coating layer of an organopolysiloxane on the surfaces of the inner walls of the polymerization reactor and other instruments in contact with the polymerization mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
