  • Patent number: 9428602
    Abstract: Provided is a (meth)acrylic acid-based copolymer containing, as structural units, a structural unit derived from a sulfonic acid (salt) group-containing monomer and a structural unit derived from (meth)acrylic acid (salt), the copolymer being capable of expressing an excellent effect on the dispersion of hydrophobic particles. Also provided is a method of producing such (meth)acrylic acid-based copolymer. A (meth)acrylic acid-based copolymer of the present invention contains: 1 mass % to 20 mass % of a structural unit (a) derived from an ether bond-containing hydrophobic monomer (A) represented by a specific structure; 1 mass % to 50 mass % of a structural unit (b) derived from a sulfonic acid (salt) group-containing monomer (B) represented by a specific structure; and 30 mass % to 98 mass % of a structural unit (c) derived from (meth)acrylic acid (salt) (C).
