ている。Aromatic vinyl compounds and maleic anhydride are inert to these monomers, and can be radically polymerized with peroxides or azo compounds in a solvent that dissolves the monomers but not the copolymer. Precipitation polymerization can be carried out using an initiator. Generally, the copolymers thus obtained are high molecular weight alternating copolymers, containing pour point depressants, coal, dyes,
It is widely used as a solid dispersant for pigments, adhesives, and paper sizing agents. However, if the molecular weight of the above copolymer is high, the viscosity of the solution will be high, making it difficult to handle, and the performance may deteriorate depending on the application, so copolymers with a molecular weight of 10.000 or less are used as products. desired.

This method has disadvantages in that a uniform dispersion cannot be obtained because precipitates adhere to and solidify in the coil portion, or block-like agglomerates are formed, and the yield of the copolymer is also significantly reduced.

酸ビニル共重合体は公知の方法で容易に合成できるし、
また市販されているので容易に入手することができる。As the dispersant used in the present invention, since this reaction is a reaction between a nonpolar monomer and a polar monomer, the dispersant also has a nonpolar part and a polar part in the molecule, It is preferable to use one that is also soluble in a solvent. Suitable dispersants include vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers or partial hydrolysates thereof. The composition and molecular weight of the above copolymer are not particularly limited, but preferably have a vinyl acetate content of 5 to 95% by weight and a molecular weight of 500 to 500,000%, particularly preferably a vinyl acetate content of 10 to 20% by weight. Section, molecular weight 5.
000 to 200,000. Vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer can be easily synthesized by known methods,
Moreover, it is commercially available and can be easily obtained.

すぎてp過が困難になったシする。If this amount is less than 01 weight ratio, there is no effect of preventing the adhesion of sediment, and if it exceeds 50 weight ratio, it is economically disadvantageous, and
The quality of the resulting product was impaired, and the dispersed particles were too fine to pass through.
一重合温度は、約80〜200°C好ましくは約90〜
140°Cで、重合時間中一定であることが望ましい。The monopolymerization temperature is about 80 to 200°C, preferably about 90 to 200°C.
Desirably, the temperature is 140°C and remains constant during the polymerization time.

Furthermore, although stirring speed is generally thought to affect the dispersion effect, this effect is small in the method of the present invention, and stirring to the extent that the reaction solution is moved is sufficient.

ることができる。A mixture of the same solvent, aromatic vinyl compound, and radical polymerization initiator as described above is added dropwise into the mixture to maintain the polymerization temperature. In the method of the present invention, a specific dispersant is dissolved in a solvent in advance and polymerization is carried out, so that a uniform dispersion state is maintained from the beginning to the end of the reaction, and the dispersion is produced by cooling after the reaction is completed. There is no adhesion of the copolymer at all, and it is easy to take out the copolymer from the reaction vessel.
Since the copolymer also has good liquid removal properties, the amount of heat required in the drying process can be reduced, and at the same time, the size of the drying equipment can be made smaller.
