Abstract

Abstract A process for producing a resin dispersion characterized in that an ethylenically unsaturated monomer capable of forming a polymer insoluble in an aqueous medium is polymerized in a solution formed by dissolving in said aqueous medium a water-soluble polymer derived from (1) 10-90% BY WEIGHT OF A HYDROXYALKYL (METH-)ACRYLATE EXPRESSED BY THE FOLLOWING GENERAL FORMULA <IMAGE> wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and l is an integer of 2, 3 or 4, (2) 10-90% BY WEIGHT OF A POLYALKYLENEGLYCOL MONO (METH-)ACRYLATE EXPRESSED BY THE FOLLOWING GENERAL FORMULA <IMAGE> wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, m is an integer of 2 or 3, and n is an integer of 2 to 20, and (3) 0-30% BY WEIGHT OF ANOTHER ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED MONOMER.
