Abstract
Abstract Production of polymers in bead form by forming a water-in-oil suspension of an aqueous solution containing at least one water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer in an inert hydrophobic liquid organic dispersion medium and polymerizing the suspended monomer in the presence of a polymerization initiator and a protective colloid obtained by reacting an oily or resinous polymer of an olefin and/or diolefin, said polymer containing hydrogen atoms in the allyl position, with 2 to 30% by weight, based on the oil and/or resin, of maleic anhydride.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
In a process for the production of polymers, in bead form, of water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomers by forming a water-in-oil suspension of an aqueous solution containing at least one water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer in an inert hydrophobic liquid organic dispersion medium and polymerizing the suspended monomer in the presence of a protective colloid and a polymerization initiator, the improvement which comprises using as protective colloid a reaction product obtained by reacting an oily or resinous polymer having a molecular weight of from 750 to 50,000 of a member selected from the groups consisting of an olefin and a diolefin having two to six carbon atoms, said polymer containing hydrogen in the allyl position, with 2 to 30% by weight, based on the oil and/or resin, of maleic anhydride, said reaction product being soluble in the inert hydrophobic liquid organic dispersion medium.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
In a process for the production of polymers, in bead form, of water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomers by forming a water-in-oil suspension of an aqueous solution containing at least one water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer in an inert hydrophobic liquid organic dispersion medium and polymerizing the suspended monomer in the presence of a protective colloid and a polymerization initiator, the improvement which comprises using as protective colloid a reaction product obtained by reacting an oily or resinous polymer having a molecular weight of from 750 to 50,000 of a member selected from the groups consisting of an olefin and a diolefin having two to six carbon atoms, said polymer containing hydrogen in the allyl position, with 2 to 30% by weight, based on the oil and/or resin, of maleic anhydride, said reaction product being soluble in the inert hydrophobic liquid organic dispersion medium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein 0.01 to 2% by weight, based on the inert hydrophobic liquid dispersion medium, of the suspending agent is used.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein an oil of polybutadiene having a molecular weight of from 1,000 to 30,000 is reacted with maleic anhydride at temperatures of from 180° to 240° C.
