  • Patent number: 7264875
    Abstract: A microcapsule encapsulating a disperse system is produced by preparing a liquid organic dispersion containing a resin whose acid group has been neutralized, a colored particle, and an organic solvent; dispersing the liquid organic dispersion in an aqueous medium to produce a capsule particle in the aqueous medium, the capsule particle comprising a disperse system in which the colored particle is dispersed in the organic solvent, and a wall encapsulating the disperse system; and separating the capsule particle from the aqueous medium for dryness. The liquid organic dispersion may comprise, as an organic solvent, a hydrophobic organic solvent and a polar solvent dissolving the resin constituting the wall and being miscible to the aqueous medium. The wall of the capsule particle may be crosslinked or cured with a crosslinking agent. The microcapsule is utilized for an image display device in which the colored particle is electrophoretically movable in the oil phase by a potential difference.

  • Patent number: 4590238
    Abstract: A high-solid self-adhesive having a solid content of 65 to 75% by weight and composed of an emulsion obtained by emulsion-copolymerizing a vinyl monomer mixture containing acrylate esters as the main ingredient and further at least one hydrophilic monomer of formula (A), (B) or (C). ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is H or COOH, R.sub.2 is H or CH.sub.3 and R.sub.3 is H or CH.sub.2 OH.A process for the production of the high-solid self-adhesive comprising successively adding a pre-emulsion obtained by previously mixing said vinyl monomer mixture, a surfactant mixture of a nonionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant and water, to the reaction system to carry out an emulsion copolymerization in the presence of a catalyst.
