  • Patent number: 9814656
    Abstract: Disclosed are porous resin particles which contain a polymer of a monomer mixture containing, as monomers, at least a monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid ester and a crosslinking monomer. The monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid ester accounts for 1 wt % to 50 wt % of the monomer mixture, and the crosslinking monomer accounts for 50 wt % to 99 wt % of the monomer mixture. The porous resin particles have a specific surface area of 190 m2/g to 300 m2/g and a bulk specific gravity of 0.25 g/mL to 0.45 g/mL.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 29, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2017
    Assignee: Sekisui Plastics Co., Ltd.

  • Patent number: 9200154
    Abstract: The present invention provides porous resin particles made of a polymer of a monomer mixture, wherein the monomer mixture contains, as monomers, at least methyl methacrylate and a (meth)acrylic-based cross-linkable monomer, a content of the methyl methacrylate in the monomer mixture is 1 to 50% by weight, a content of the (meth)acrylic-based cross-linkable monomer in the monomer mixture is 50 to 99% by weight, the porous resin particles have a specific surface area of 130 to 180 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.3 to 0.7 ml/g, and an average pore size of 13 to 16 nm, an amount of unreacted methyl methacrylate remaining in the porous resin particles is 20 ppm or less, and the porous resin particles have a thermal decomposition starting temperature of 260° C. or more.
