Abstract

Abstract Graft copolymers of A 2 to 30% by weight of a polysaccharide ester as graft basis, and B 98 to 70% by weight of a grafted monomer mixture of (1) 8 to 90% by weight of ethylene and (2) 92 to 10% by weight of vinyl acetate. The polymers are suitable for the production of moulding compounds, films, packaging foils, and coatings.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 49 words
A graft copolymer comprising (A) 2 to 30% by weight of a polysaccharide ester as grafting substrate and (B) 98 to 70% by weight of a mixture of (1) 8 to 90% by weight of ethylene and (2) 92 to 10% by weight of vinyl acetate as grafting monomers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 49 words
A graft copolymer comprising (A) 2 to 30% by weight of a polysaccharide ester as grafting substrate and (B) 98 to 70% by weight of a mixture of (1) 8 to 90% by weight of ethylene and (2) 92 to 10% by weight of vinyl acetate as grafting monomers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 63 words
A graft copolymer of claim 1 comprising (A) 5 to 25% by weight of a cellulose ester of an aliphatic carboxylic acid having 2 to 4 carbon atoms as grafting substrate and (B) 95 to 75% by weight of a mixture of (1) 20 to 75% by weight of ethylene and (2) 80 to 25% by weight of vinyl acetate as grafting monomers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 11 words
A graft copolymer of claim 1 wherein (A) is cellulose proprionate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 11 words
A graft copolymer of claim 1 wherein (A) is cellulose acetobutyrate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 42 words
A graft copolymer of claim 1 wherein said grafting monomers include at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of carbon monoxide, (meth) acrylic acid, acrylic acid and C 1 to C 8 alkyl esters of (meth) acrylic and acrylic acids.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
A graft copolymer of claim 1 prepared by solution polymerization in tertiary butanol at a temperature of from 50° to 100° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 39 words
A process for producing a graft copolymer of claim 1 wherein the polysaccharide ester is dissolved in vinyl acetate, ethylene is added and polymerization is continuously carried out at elevated pressure in the presence of a radical forming substance.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 9 words
A foil of the graft copolymer of claim 1.
