Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Fine polymer particles made by a method include producing an emulsion in a liquid prepared by dissolving and mixing a polymer A and a polymer B in organic solvents in which a solution phase composed primarily of the polymer A and a solution phase composed primarily of the polymer B are formed as separate phases, wherein the solvents in the two phases resulting from the phase separation are substantially identical to each other, and contacting the emulsion with a poor solvent for the polymer A to precipitate the polymer A, wherein the particles have a glass transition point of 150° C. or more and 400° C. or less, an average particle diameter of 1 μm or more to 100 μm or less, and a particle diameter distribution index of the particles is 2 or less, wherein the polymer A is nonvinyl type polymer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Fine polymer particles made by a method comprising: Producing an emulsion in a liquid prepared by dissolving and mixing a polymer A and a polymer B in organic solvents in which a solution phase composed primarily of the polymer A and a solution phase composed primarily of the polymer B are formed as separate phases, wherein the solvents in the two phases resulting from the phase separation are substantially identical to each other; and contacting the emulsion with a poor solvent for the polymer A to precipitate the polymer A, wherein the particles have a glass transition point of 180° C. or more and 400° C. or less, an average particle diameter of 1 μm or more to 100 μm or less, and a particle diameter distribution index of the particles is 2 or less, wherein the polymer A is nonvinyl type thermoplastic polymer. 2. Fine polymer particles with an average particle diameter of 1 μm or more to 100 μm or less and a particle diameter distribution index of 2 or less formed of at least one selected from the group of amorphous non-totally aromatic polyamide, polyphenylene ether, polyetherimide, amorphous polyarylate and polyamide-imide. 3. The fine polymer particles according to claim 2 , obtained by a method of producing fine polymer particles comprising: producing an emulsion in a liquid prepared by dissolving and mixing a polymer A and a polymer B in organic solvents in which a solution phase composed primarily of the polymer A and a solution phase composed primarily of the polymer B are formed as separate phase, wherein the solvents in the two phases resulting from the phase separation are substantially identical to each other; and contacting the emulsion with a poor solvent for the polymer A to precipitate the polymer A, wherein polymer A is at least one selected from the group of, amorphous non-totally aromatic polyamide, polyphenylene ether, polyetherimide, amorphous polyarylate and polyamide-imide.
