Abstract
Aqueous suspensions of discrete particles of polymer, for instance polyvinyl latices, are heated with solvents which are at least partially water-miscible, particularly certain shortchain ketones, until the polymer is agglomerated to the desired degree. Various water-soluble inorganic metal salts, especially alkali metal and alkaline earth metal halides and sulfates, may also be added to facilitate the agglomeration. Novel macromolecular resins of high absorptivity are thus produced, comprising the fine particles of polymer cofused in a reticulated structure, the degree of cofusion being controlled at will by the process conditions selected.
