PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POLYMERIC PARTICLES OF 1 TO 5! MILLIMICRONS

A process for making uniformly sized polymer particles, having a final particle size of 1-50 micron, comprises (a) combining sufficient free-radical-polymerisable, water-insoluble monomer, or mixt thereof, with an aq dispersion of seed polymer particles, at a rate such that the amt of monomer(s) equ...

Zusammenfassung:A process for making uniformly sized polymer particles, having a final particle size of 1-50 micron, comprises (a) combining sufficient free-radical-polymerisable, water-insoluble monomer, or mixt thereof, with an aq dispersion of seed polymer particles, at a rate such that the amt of monomer(s) equal to the total initial wt of the seed polymer particles is combined with the dispersion over 45-120 (pref 60-90) mins, in the presence of a dispersion stabiliser and an oil-soluble, free-radical polymsn initiator. The temp is at least high enough to activate the initiator, and (b) maintaining the temp until polymsn is complete. Opt these steps are repeated until the required final particle size is achieved
