Provided is an additive for a chemical agent, which is capable of improving the functions of various chemical agents. The additive for a chemical agent according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a polymer (I) containing 50 mol % to 100 mol % of a structural unit derived from an N-vinyl lactam-based monomer with respect to 100 mol % of structural units derived from all monomers, the additive for a chemical agent having an average particle diameter of 100 μm or less in a state of having been dried under a reduced pressure of 0.02 MPa or less at 100° C. for 1 hour.

Additive for medicinal agents

The invention aims to provide a crosslinked polymer having an excellent liquid absorption capacity and sufficient gel-pulverizability. The invention relates to a N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer including: a structural unit derived from a N-vinyl lactam-based monomer; and a structural unit derived from triallyl cyanurate, the N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer containing the structural unit derived from triallyl cyanurate in a ratio of 0.12 to 0.48 mol % to 100 mol % of all structural units.

N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer, cosmetic, absorbent agent for ink, and absorbent composite

The invention aims to provide a crosslinked polymer having excellent moisture retention properties, an excellent ethanol absorption capacity, excellent adhesiveness to the skin when applied to the skin as a cosmetic, and a high concentration of an effective component. The invention relates to a N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer including: a structural unit derived from a N-vinyl lactam; and a structural unit derived from a crosslinking agent, the N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer having an ethanol absorption capacity of 3 to 40 g per 1 g of the N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer, the N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer containing a particle having an aspect ratio determined by the following method of 1.15 to 10 in a proportion of 10% to 100% (by number) of the total number of the N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer and having a proportion of an extractable of 35 mass % or less in 100 mass % of the entire polymer, the method being 'method of measuring aspect ratio' in which the aspect ratio is determined as a value obtained by measuring the major and minor axes of a primary particle of the N-vinyl lactam-based cross-linked polymer with an optical or electron microscope and dividing the major axis by the minor axis.
