Abstract

Abstract A graft copolymer having dispersion stabilizing effect, which is a product of the polymerization of 5 to 30% by weight of a macromonomer which has a molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000 and has a radical polymerizable unsaturated group at its one end, 1 to 40% by weight of a hydrophillic monomer which has a hydrophillic moiety in it and has a radical polymerizable unsaturated group, and 5 to 40% by weight of a fluorinated monomer which has a florinated moiety in it and has a radical polymerizable unsaturated group, the % by weight being based on a total of the three monomers, and 0 to 50% of the total of the total of the three monomers of a monomer copolymerizable therewith. The graft copolymer of this invention can be used as an excellent dispersion stablilizer for emulsion polymerization, whereby in emulsion polymerization it is possible to attain polymer particle dispersion stability to ensure that the polymer particles will not be agglomerated even if they have been grown to larger particles having a diameter of 0.5 μ or more and that dispersion of the polymer particles having a large and uniform particle diameter is obtained.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 201 words
In a process for aqueous emulsion polymerization of vinyl monomers where no surfactant is used but the polymer is obtained in emulsion as a result of a water-soluble or water dispersible polymeric dispersion stabilizer added, the improvement which comprises using as the polymeric dispersion stabilizer a graft copolymer of a mean molecular weight of at least 5,000 which is a product of polymerization of 5 to 30% by weight of a macromonomer which has a molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000 and has a radical polymerizable unsaturated group at its one end, 1 to 40% by weight of a hydrophilic monomer which has a hydrophilic moiety in it selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups or salt forms thereof and has a radical polymerizable unsaturated group, and 5 and to 40% by weight of a fluorinated monomer which has a fluorinated moiety in it and has a radical polymerizable unsaturated group, the % by weight being based on a total of the three monomers, and 0 to 50% of the total of the three monomers of a monomer copolymerizable therewith thereby to produce an emulsion of a polymer of a mean particle diameter of at least 0.5 microns.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 201 words
In a process for aqueous emulsion polymerization of vinyl monomers where no surfactant is used but the polymer is obtained in emulsion as a result of a water-soluble or water dispersible polymeric dispersion stabilizer added, the improvement which comprises using as the polymeric dispersion stabilizer a graft copolymer of a mean molecular weight of at least 5,000 which is a product of polymerization of 5 to 30% by weight of a macromonomer which has a molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000 and has a radical polymerizable unsaturated group at its one end, 1 to 40% by weight of a hydrophilic monomer which has a hydrophilic moiety in it selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups or salt forms thereof and has a radical polymerizable unsaturated group, and 5 and to 40% by weight of a fluorinated monomer which has a fluorinated moiety in it and has a radical polymerizable unsaturated group, the % by weight being based on a total of the three monomers, and 0 to 50% of the total of the three monomers of a monomer copolymerizable therewith thereby to produce an emulsion of a polymer of a mean particle diameter of at least 0.5 microns.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
