Zusammenfassung:2082624 9118929 PCTABS00008 What is described herein is an improved precipitation polymerization process and copolymer products produced thereby. The process herein is carried out by charging a reactor with a solvent in which the copolymer product is substantially insoluble over the entire compositional range of the copolymer, preferably heptane or cyclohexane, and a polymerization initiator, heating to 50· to 150 ·C, agitating, and then simultaneously feeding selected amounts of a vinyl lactam and a polymerizable carboxylic acid into said reactor below the surface of the solvent while continuing to agitate the mixture to precipitate the copolymer from solution as a fine, white powder, and recovering the copolymer of defined composition.
