Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for producing a copolymer composed of at least one kind of hydrophilic N-vinyl lactam and at least one kind of hydrophobic comonomer and soluble in water to form a transparent solution by the radical copolymerization of the monomers in an organic solvent. SOLUTION: A vinyl lactam copolymer is produced by the radical polymerization of at least one kind of water-soluble N-vinyl lactam and at least one kind of hydrophobic comonomer in an organic solvent in the presence of an initiator. The polymerization is carried out under a gauge pressure to prevent the evaporation of the components. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
In order to prepare an antibacterial and fungicidal polymer dispersion, a polymer dispersion is mixed with an amount of a protective polymer which is dispersible in the polymer dispersion, said amount being sufficient to attain an antibacterial and fungicidal effect. The protective polymer comprises: between 3 and 60 wt %, relative to the total weight of components a) and b) without metallic ions, of at least one C3 to C7 alpha, beta-monoethylenically unsaturated mono or dicarboxylic acid which is partially or completely neutralized or can be present as an anhydride, as component a); between 97 and 40 wt %, relative to the total weight of components a) and b) without metallic ions, of at least one C1 to C20 alkyl(meth)acrylate, of a C1 to C20 carboxylic acid vinyl ester, of a vinyl aromatic containing up to 20 carbon atoms, of an ethylenically unsaturated C3 to C6 nitrile, of a vinyl halide or a non-aromatic C4 to C8 hydrocarbon and at least two conjugated double bonds or ethylene or propylene as component b); between 0 and 50 wt %, relative to the total weight of components a) and b) without metallic ions, of at least one further ethylenically unsaturated monomer, as component c); and between 0 and 20 wt %, relative to the total weight of components a), b) and c) without metallic ions, of at least one cross-linking polyfunctional monomer, as component d). Between 1 and 100 mol % of the acid groups are converted into salts of at least one antibacterial and/or fungicidal metallic ion.

Abstract:
Aqueous slurries of finely divided fillers which are at least partly coated with polymers and which are obtainable by treating aqueous slurries of finely divided fillers with at least one water-soluble amphoteric copolymer whose structures are identified in the specification are used as an additive to the paper stock in the production of filler-containing paper, filler-containing cardboard or filler-containing board by draining of the paper stock.
