Abstract: A process for producing a solid dispersion comprising a resin and a functional compound dispersed therein, which comprises: kneading a powdery functional compound together with deionized water while gradually introducing the deionized water; adding a resin and, according to need, an additive to the mixture; subsequently heating and kneading the resultant mixture in a vessel which has an atmosphere causing the resin to soften at a temperature not higher than the boiling point of the deionized water and which has been tightly closed according to need so as to function like a pressure cooker to thereby disperse the functional compound into the softened resin; and kneading the resultant dispersion with heating at ordinary pressure or a reduced pressure to remove the water by vaporization.

Abstract: There are provided a finely dispersed material of a functional compound such as pigment or the like in the state of its inherent average particle diameter and a process for producing a finely dispersed material of a functional compound into a binder resin, in which the compound is dispersed in the state of its inherent average particle diameter not more than 3 microns, in spite of using the functional compound having an apparently large average particle diameter by agglomeration in comparison with the inherent average particle diameter of the compound, wherein when the above compound before dispersion is apparently in the dry state, de-ionized water is added thereto to form a hydrous paste of the compound and then this hydrous paste is contacted with a substance having an ion-exchange function selected depending upon the properties of the impurity ions contained in the above functional compound in a mixed solvent composed of de-ionized water and an organic solvent miscible with water to remove the impurity io
