  • Patent number: 10876010
    Abstract: In a method for producing composite particles containing polymer particles and silica particles that adhere to the polymer particles, the composite particles are obtained by subjecting a polymerizable monomer to aqueous suspension polymerization in a presence of silica particles and a cellulose compound adsorbing onto the silica particles. The composite particles contain the polymer particles, the silica particles that adhere to surfaces of the polymer particles, and the water-soluble cellulose compound.

  • Patent number: 10174190
    Abstract: There are provided a method for producing particles by suspension polymerization which ensures an excellent dispersion stability of the monomer and a simpler washing step, composite particles obtainable by this production method, and use of the composite particles. The method for producing composite particles includes a polymerization step of subjecting a monomer mixture which contains a polymerizable vinyl monomer to aqueous suspension polymerization in a presence of small polymer particles having a volume-average particle size of 20 to 500 nm, with a water-soluble cellulose compound adsorbing on surfaces of the small polymer particles, and thereby obtaining composite particles which contain the small polymer particles and large polymer particles greater than the small polymer particles.
