The present invention provides an acrylic copolymer coagulant which is a copolymer of a monomer mixture comprising a carboxylic acid-based monomer and an acrylic monomer, and a method of preparing a graft copolymer using the same. According to the present invention, a graft copolymer excellent in impact strength, surface gloss characteristics, and processability can be prepared.

Acrylic copolymer coagulant and method of preparing graft copolymer using the same

Provided is a method of preparing a graft polymer, which includes: polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising a carboxylic acid monomer and methyl acrylate, wherein the carboxylic acid monomer is included at 1.5 to 2.5 wt %, and thus preparing an acrylic coagulant having an average particle diameter of 60 to 70 nm; polymerizing diene-based monomers in the presence of an emulsifier containing a salt of a compound and thus preparing a first diene-based rubber polymer; enlarging the first diene-based rubber polymer using the acrylic coagulant and thus preparing a second diene-based rubber polymer; and graft-polymerizing an aromatic vinyl-based monomer and a vinyl cyanide-based monomer to the second diene-based rubber polymer and thus preparing a graft polymer.

Method of preparing graft polymer

The present invention relates to a polymer coagulant including methacrylamide in a preferred range and an enlarged graft copolymer prepared using same. The polymer coagulant provided in the present invention may enlarge a conjugated diene-based polymer to a suitable particle diameter range, and there are advantages of achieving excellent impact resistance and flowability of a graft copolymer prepared from the polymer.
