Abstract
Abstract A polymer composition obtained by mixing, in an emulsion state, (A) from 20 to 90% by weight (as solid content of polymer) of an emulsion of polymer component (A) which is a polymer of a vinyl monomer and has a glass transition temperature of higher than 20° C., a gel content of not higher than 10% and a solubility parameter of from 8.0 to 11.0 (cal/cc) 1/2 and which has a weight average molecular weight, based on polystyrene, of at least 1.5×10 5 , and (B) from 10 to 80% by weight (as solid content of polymer) of an emulsion of polymer component (B) which is a homopolymer of an acrylate monomer, a copolymer of acrylate monomers or a copolymer of an acrylate monomer with other copolymerizable monomer and has a glass transition temperature of not higher than 20° C., a gel content of not higher than 70% and a solubility parameter of from 8.4 to 9.8 (cal/cc) 1/2 , and separating the polymer from the emulsion mixture.
