摘要:
A method for increasing the porosity of a cross-linked copolymer composed essentially of at least one monovinyl aromatic compound selected from the group consisting of styrene, vinyl toluene and ethyl vinyl benzene, at least one polyvinyl aromatic compound selected from the group consisting of divinyl benzene, trivinyl benzene, divinyl toluene and divinyl xylene, and an aliphatic vinyl compound, wherein the proportion of the polyvinyl aromatic compound relative to the total vinyl compounds is from 8 to 80% by weight, and the proportion of the aliphatic vinyl compound relative to the total vinyl compounds is from 0 to 20% by weight, which method comprises treating particles of said copolymer with a Lewis acid catalyst in an amount of from 0.05 to 1 part by weight relative to 1 part by weight of the copolymer particles, in the presence of an organic solvent.
摘要:
A method for producing a large size crosslinked polymer bead, which comprises dispersing a monomer phase composed essentially of a monovinyl monomer and a crosslinkable monomer in an aqueous phase containing a dispersion stabilizer and subjecting the dispersion to suspension polymerization in an oil-in-water system in the presence of a polymerization initiator, wherein: 1 at least one specific gravity-controlling agent having a specific gravity of more than 1.0 selected from the group consisting of water-insoluble inert organic solvents and water-insoluble linear polymers soluble in the monomer phase, is added to the monomer phase, and 2 if necessary, at least one specific gravity-controlling agent selected from the group consisting of water-soluble inorganic salts, is added to the aqueous phase, 3 to adjust the specific gravities (at 25.degree. C.) of the monomer phase and the aqueous phase in the ranges represented by the following formula (I):B-0.03
