Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of stable graft polymer dispersions having improved dispersibility by a free radical polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer under conditions of no-reflux or alternatively under conditions that do not return the evaporated monomer to the dispersion. Polyurethane foams may be prepared from these polymer dispersions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
In the process for the preparation of a graft polyol dispersion bythe in situ free radical polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or monomers, selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile, styrene and mixtures thereof, in the presence of a free radical initiator, in a polyol, the improvement comprising conducting said polymerization under such conditions that none of the evaporated monomer or monomers is returned to the dispersion wherein said polymerization is conducted at temperatures between 80° C. and 180° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
In the process for the preparation of a graft polyol dispersion bythe in situ free radical polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or monomers, selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile, styrene and mixtures thereof, in the presence of a free radical initiator, in a polyol, the improvement comprising conducting said polymerization under such conditions that none of the evaporated monomer or monomers is returned to the dispersion wherein said polymerization is conducted at temperatures between 80° C. and 180° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of said unsaturated monomer is from 1 percent to 60 percent based on the total weight of the product.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
