  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AN AQUEOUS POLYMER DISPERSION
    Publication number: 20120149840
    Abstract: Polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturdated monomer in an aqueous medium can produce an aqueous polymer dispersion. The polymerization is in the presence of a dispersant and a metal-carbene complex. The polymerization can also optionally be in the presence of a dispersant, an organic solvent with low solubility in water, or both. The aqueous polymer dispersion resulting from the process can be used to make a polymer powder.
