Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

88 g of methyl ethyl ketone was added to a 1000 ml three-necked flask that included a stirrer and condenser and heated in a nitrogen atmosphere to 72° C., and a solution in which 0.85 g of dimethyl-2,2′-azobisisobutyrate, 50 g of phenoxyethyl methacrylate, 13 g of methacrylic acid, and 37 g of methyl methacrylate were dissolved in 50 g of methyl ethyl ketone was added dropwise thereto over three hours. After reacting for another hour after the end of the dropwise addition, a solution in which 0.42 g of dimethyl-2,2′-azobisisobutyrate was dissolved in 2 g of methyl ethyl ketone was added, heated to and maintained at 78° C. for four hours. The obtained reaction solution was reprecipitated twice in an excess amount of hexane and the precipitated resin was dried, whereby 96.5 g of a phenoxyethyl methacrylate/methyl methacrylate/methacrylic acid (copolymer ratio [mass ratio]=50/37/13) copolymer (water-insoluble resin P-1) was obtained.
