  • Patent number: 4988771
    Abstract: A graft copolymer having dispersion stabilizing effect, which comprises on the carbon backbone thereof a polymer side chain comprising a carbon chain having a molecular weight of 1,000.about.100,000, a fluorine atom containing fluorine side chain and a hydrophilic side chain containing a hydrophilic group, the total mean molecular weight of said graft copolymer being 5,000 or more. The graft copolymer of this invention can be used as an excellent dispersion stabilizer for emulsion polymerization, whereby in emulsion polymerization it is possible to attain polymer particle dispersion stability to ensure that the polymer particles will not be agglomerated even if they have been grown to larger particles having a diameter of 0.5.mu. or more and that dispersion of the polymer particles having a large and uniform particle diameter is obtained.
