Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

88 g of methyl ethyl ketone was placed in a 1000-ml three-necked flask equipped with a stirrer and a cooling tube, heated to 72° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. A solution prepared by dissolving 0.85 g of dimethyl-2,2′-azobisisobutylate, 50 g of phenoxyethyl methacrylate, 13 g of methacrylic acid, and 37 g of methyl methacrylate in 50 g of methyl ethyl ketone was added dropwise thereto over a period of 3 hours. After completion of the addition, the reaction was further continued for one hour, and then a solution prepared by dissolving 0.42 g of dimethyl-2,2′-azobisisobutylate in 2 g of methyl ethyl ketone was added thereto, and the solution was heated at 78° C. for 4 hours. The reaction solution thus obtained was reprecipitated twice in excess amounts of hexane, and the precipitated resin was dried to obtain 96.5 g of a phenoxyethyl methacrylate/methyl methacrylate/methacrylic acid (copolymerization ratio [mass ratio %]=50/37/13) copolymer (resin dispersant P-1).
