Abstract: A polymer scale preventive process for use in polymerization of a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond, comprising (A) a water-soluble basic polysaccharide and (B) a phenothiazine. The process is used for forming a coating on the inner wall, etc. of a polymerization vessel, and highly safe for operators. Deposition of polymer scale can be effectively prevented, and polymeric product with high whiteness or a low initial coloration is obtained.
Abstract: A process for catalytically hydrogenating a carbon-carbon double bond of a conjugated diene polymer by introducing hydrogen in the solution of said polymer, characterized in that a palladium salt of a carboxylic acid is used as a catalyst.
Abstract: There is disclosed a new polymer bound catalyst, a means for the production of a polymer bound aryl substituted crown ether and use of such polymer bound aryl substituted crown ethers as catalysts.
