Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing process by which a pellet-shaped nonionic alkylene oxide resin can be obtained in a manner which is excellent in stability, economical efficiency and productivity and easy, wherein the pellet-shaped nonionic alkylene oxide resin, as a high-molecular material useful in a variety of applications, has a suitable molecular weight Mw and physical properties and is also excellent in the stability of the physical properties and further is also excellent in the handling property after the manufacture. As a means of achieving this object, the process for manufacturing a pellet-shaped nonionic alkylene oxide resin, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: obtaining a nonionic alkylene oxide resin having fluidity by volatilizing a solvent from a nonionic alkylene oxide resin solution obtained in advance by solution polymerization; and then pelletizing the nonionic alkylene oxide resin having fluidity.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a process which can produce, easily and with good productivity and reproducibility, an ethylene oxide copolymer provided with desired compositional ratios of monomers and a desired molecular weight and further with a desired melting point. As a means of achieving this object, a process according to the present invention for production of an ethylene oxide copolymer is a process comprising a step of polymerizing a monomer mixture including ethylene oxide as a main component, thereby producing the ethylene oxide copolymer, with the process being characterized in that the polymerization step includes at least one step each of the following steps: a step in which only the ethylene oxide is supplied to thus polymerize it; and a step in which the ethylene oxide and another monomer are supplied to thus polymerize them.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous resin composition, which has good driability, and which is excellent in adhesion and various resistances, particularly, water and solvent resistances. The aqueous resin composition comprises a combination of: an anionic resin and/or an amphoteric resin; a polyoxazoline compound; and a multivalent metal compound.

Abstract: A cement additive is added to increase flowability of a cement composition and to prevent a slump loss, but those characters are insufficient, or the cement additive becomes ununiform in the cement composition and causes a trouble of the hardening inferiority.Thus, to solve the subjects, the present invention provides a cement additive composed of a crosslinked polymer in which, between main chains having a water-soluble polymer structure of a molecular weight from 500 to 100,000, a bond having as a structural unit at least one group selected from divalent groups as shown in the following formula (I) is formed. ##STR1## ?In the formula (I), R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently denote any one of the following. ##STR2## However, R.sup.1 may not be required in a case of that R.sup.2 is the following. ##STR3## Moreover, R and R' independently denote an alkyl group of carbon number of 1 to 5.
