Abstract:
Copolymers of ethylene with 10 to 98 percent by weight of conventional comonomers are made by copolymerization in aqueous dispersion, at least a part of the heat of polymerization being removed by evaporation of the ethylene. The vapors are cooled by a cooling medium by heat exchange, in a cooling zone situated above the polymerization vessel and communicating with the latter, the hot vapors being fed to the upper end of the cooling zone, the cooled vapors returning to the polymerization vessel, so that the vapors are cooled by the cooling medium while they are flowing downward.
Abstract:
The invention relates to microcapsules having a wall material composed of optionally crosslinked copolymers comprising olefinically unsaturated monomers containing hydrophilic groups such as an acetylacetate of a mono(meth) acrylate of an aliphatic diol, and olefinically unsaturated monomers containing hydrophobic groups, such as methyl methacrylate, and a process for the manufacture of microcapsules.
Abstract:
In the manufacture of aqueous dispersions of polymers of monoolefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid esters by emulsion copolymerization, polymerization is effected in the presence of a mixture of (a) non-ionic emulsifiers, (b) anionic emulsifiers, (c) a protective colloid based on an N-vinyl pyrrolidone polymer and (d) a hydroxyl-containing protective colloid.
Abstract:
Microcapsule dispersions which have been stabilized with a crosslinked polymer containing carboxyl groups. The physical and chemical properties of the dispersions remain substantially constant while settling and creaming of the dispersed microcapsules are prevented.

HOT-MELT ADHESIVES BASED ON GRAFT POLYMERS IN WHICH A MIXTURE CONSISTING OF STYRENE FOR THE MOST PART AND ESTERS OF ACRYLIC OR METHACYLIC ACID IS POLYMERIZED ONTO A BACKBONE POLYMER CONSISTING A POLYSTYRENE OR A COPOLYMER OF STYRENE AND FOR THE MOST PART ACRYLIC OR METHACRYLIC ESTERS, THE SAID ESTERS BEING DERIVED FROM PRIMARY AND/OR SECONDARY ALKANOLS HAVING 3 TO 12 CARBON ATOMS, ARE VERY STABLE EVEN IN TH MOLTEN STATE, ARE PARTICULARLY TOUGH, AND HAVE AN ESPECIALLY LOW VISCOSITY IN THE MOLTEN STATE.
Abstract:
In a process for the preparation of microcapsules based on a melamine-formaldehyde resin, in which the microcapsules are obtained by condensing a melamine-formaldehyde precondensate, its C1-C4-alkyl ethers, or mixtures thereof, in water in which the material forming the capsule core is dispersed, at a pH of from 3 to 6.5 and at from 20 DEG to 100 DEG C., the improvement that the water contains a homopolymer or copolymer which possesses sulfonic acid groups but is devoid of phenyl or sulfophenyl groups and has a K value of from 100 to 170 or a viscosity of from 200 to 5,000 mPa.s (shearing gradient 489 s-1; 20% strength solution at 25 DEG C.), and that the melamine-formaldehyde precondensate is added continuously, or in portions, in step with the rate of condensation. The process gives individual capsules which are highly impermeable. The capsules are exceptionally useful for the production of pressure-sensitive recording materials.

Abstract:
1418151 Colloidal dispersions BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA-FABRIK AG 12 April 1973 [13 April 1972] 17556/73 Heading B1V Stable aqueous dispersions of microcapsules contain dissolved in the aqueous phase 0.01 to 3% by weight based on the weight of the dispersion of a partly cross-linked polymer containing carboxyl groups which are at least partly neutralised. The partially cross-linked polymer may be an alpha-beta unsaturated homopolymer or copolymer of a mono- or dicarboxylic acid cross-linked by irradiation or by incorporation of 0.01 to 5% by weight of a polyfunctional monomer, and may contain from 0 to 90% by weight of other copolymerizable olefinically unsaturated compounds. The polymer is preferably added in unneutralized form and neutralized in the dispersion. The dispersion may contain from 19 to 50% by weight of microcapsules of particle sizes from 2 to 5 microns. The microcapsules may comprise encapsulated reactive dye in organic liquid.
