Disclosed is a process for preparing crosslinked resin particles which comprises dispersing a resin having both a water-dispersible function and a self-crosslinkable function in one molecule in an aqueous medium and then three-dimensionally crosslinking.

Crosslinked resin particles and production thereof

An aqueous coating composition comprising: (A) 10 to 95% by weight (based on solid content) of a film forming polymer which is prepared by neutralizing at least a part of acid groups contained in a copolymer having a number average molecular weight ranging from 6,000 to 50,000 prepared by copolymerizing (A1) 5 to 40% by weight of an amide group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, (A2) 3 to 15% by weight of an acid group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, (A3) 10 to 40% by weight of a hydroxyl group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and (A4) a remainder amount of ethylenically unsaturated monomers other than the monomers (A1) to (A3); and (B) 5 to 90% by weight (based on solid content) of an aqueous dispersion of carboxyl group-containing acrylic resin particles having a particle size ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 .mu.m and an acid value ranging from 20 to 80. An aqueous metallic-base coating composition which enables to form a coating film of an improved appearance at a high workability almost free from 'sagging' and 'unevenness' is provided.

Polymer particles having a small particle diameter and a narrow particle diameter distribution are obtained by a continuous polymerization method which does not accompany an increase of cohering products attaching to an inner face of a reaction vessel and an air-bubble invasion and, in which stirring of a material solution for polymerization is easy. An emulsion polymerization reaction or a suspension polymerization reaction is carried out by supplying a material solution for polymerization continuously to a clearance between coaxial double cylinders, which have stretched toward a direction crossing a horizontal plane, from the end side of the cylinders, by rotating at least one of the double cylinders round the axis and thereby, causing Taylor vortices. The polymer particles thus-formed are obtained by through from the other end side of the double cylinders to the outside.

Disclosed is a photosensitive resin composition which has improved water developability and storage stability. The composition comprises

Photosensitive resin composition

Disclosed is an improved process of the post-emulsion method capable of forming crosslinked resin particles which do not have fusion bonds between particles and which have good storage stability and good redispersibility in an aqueous medium. The process comprises (a) dispersing in an aqueous medium a resinous component comprising (I) a base resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 0.degree. C. or less and a polymerizable double bond, (II) a monomer which, when polymerized, provides a resin of which Tg is 20.degree. C. higher than that of said base resin, or a resin of which Tg is 20.degree. C. higher than that of the base resin, and (III) a polyvinyl compound; (b) crosslinking inside the dispersed resin particles and; (c) removing the aqueous medium therefrom.

Process for preparing crosslinked resin particles

Novel composite resinous film comprising a continuous phase of at least one resin and a discontinuous phase of microdomains which are aggregates of particles of at least one insoluble resin and are 0.03 to 10 microns in size, is provided. The film can exhibit the most desirous properties of the respective, constituent resinous materials and are useful in various fields including the paint industry.

Composite film and preparation thereof

The invention concerns a process for preparing composite resin particles having the so-called semi-IPN (inter penetration network) structure, in which linear thermoplastic polymer chains get entangled with a crosslinked polymer core through partial or thorough penetration. This method is very important in that both of the chain polymer and core polymer are freely selected from various resins.

Composite resin particles and preparation thereof

Polymer microparticles having a three-dimensional network structure and an average particle size of 0.01 to 1 micron are obtained by emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomeric composition containing (a) at least one polyfunctional monomer having a plurality of polymerizable sites, or (b) a combination of two ethylenically unsaturated monomers each bearing mutually reactive functional groups in an aqueous medium in the presence of a compound or resin having a betaine group. The betqine compound or resin is incorporated into the polymer microparticles by physically adhering or covalently binding thereto to enhance the dispensing stability of the microparticles over a wide range of pH.

Crosslinked polymer microparticles derived from betaine monomers having

Novel composite film and preparation thereof

An electrodeposition coating composition containing polymer microparticles of 0.01 to 20 microns size is disclosed. The polymer microparticles have a predetermined range of softening point, solubility parameter, refractive index or crosslinking density.
