摘要:
What is provided herein is a stabilized aqueous solution of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl vinyl ether and maleic acid copolymer which includes about 10-500 ppm of an inorganic reducing agent as a stabilizing additive, said reducing agent being effective to prevent oxygen from the air and peroxides contained in polymer system from degrading the copolymer. Preferably the reducing agent is sulfur dioxide and salts derived from sulfur dioxide and alkali metals such as, sodium or potassium bisulfite, sodium or potassium metabisulfite, sodium or potassium thiosulfite, or sodium or potassium sulfite.

摘要:
A non-aqueous, heterogeneous polymerization process comprises heating a reaction mixture of about 5-70%, preferably 10-30%, by weight, of a vinyl monomer in an oil as solvent, and a free radical initiator, optionally in the presence of a crosslinking agent and/or a surfactant, wherein the oil solvent is present in an amount sufficient to keep the resultant polymer in a stirrable state throughout the polymerization. The polymer reaction product is capable of forming a uniform emulsion or gel upon addition of water thereto.

摘要:
A process is described for rendering amino-group polymer solutions substantially odorless. In one embodiment, a solution of the terpolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone, vinyl caprolactam and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate is treated with 0.1-10% by weight of an acidic compound or an acidic ion-exchange resin to render the solution substantially odorless. Other vinyl pyrrolidone polymer solutions in water and alcohol are treated similarly with equally effective results.
摘要:
A method for forming a water-in-oil emulsion of a water-soluble polymer by emulsion polymerization of the corresponding monomer in the presence of an initiator and an emulsifier which is a polysiloxane polyalkylene polyether copolymer. The polymerization of acidic monomer can be carried out without complete neutralization of the monomer beforehand and without adverse effects on the emulsion stability. The water-in-oil product emulsion is easily inverted to a stable oil-in-water emulsion.
