Acrylic Acid → Acrylic acid methyl acrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A dispersion was prepared of an uncrosslinked copolymer of methyl acrylate and acrylic acid in a 95/5 ratio in isododecane by the method of Example 1 of EP-A-749 746, replacing the heptane by isododecane. This gave a dispersion of poly(methyl acrylate/acrylic acid) particles surface-stabilized in isododecane by a block polystyrene/copoly(ethylene-propylene) diblock copolymer sold under the name Kraton G1701, having a solids content of 25% by weight.
