Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a suspension comprising liquid droplets dispersed in an aqueous medium, wherein said droplets comprise (a) one or more water-insoluble compounds, and (b) a vinyl polyelectrolyte (PED) having a polarity, and wherein said aqueous medium comprises a polyelectrolyte (PEW) having a polarity that is opposite to the polarity of said polyelectrolyte (PED). Also provided are a method of making such a suspension and a method using such a suspension in a process of suspension polymerization.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A suspension comprising liquid droplets dispersed in an aqueous medium, wherein said droplets comprise (a) one or more water-insoluble compounds, and (b) a vinyl polyelectrolyte (PED) having a polarity, and wherein said aqueous medium comprises a polyelectrolyte (PEW) having a polarity that is opposite to the polarity of said polyelectrolyte (PED). 2. The suspension of claim 1 , wherein the suspension has a pH of 5 to 10. 3. The suspension of claim 1 , wherein said polyelectrolyte (PED) has negative polarity and said polyelectrolyte (PEW) has positive polarity. 4. The suspension of claim 1 , wherein said polyelectrolyte (PED) comprises polymerized units of ionic monomer in an amount of 3 mole % to 12 mole %. 5. The suspension of claim 1 , wherein said polyelectrolyte (PEW) comprises polymerized units of ionic monomer in an amount of 40 mole % to 100 mole %. 6. A method of making a suspension comprising (A) providing a non-aqueous solution comprising (a) one or more water-insoluble compounds (A)(a), and (b) a vinyl polyelectrolyte (PED) having a polarity, (B) providing an aqueous solution comprising a polyelectrolyte (PEW) dissolved in an aqueous medium, wherein the polyelectrolyte (PEW) has a polarity opposite to the polarity of the polyelectrolyte (PED), (C) forming a mixture by bringing the non-aqueous solution (A) into contact with the aqueous solution (B), and (D) agitating the mixture to produce a suspension of droplets in an aqueous medium, wherein the droplets comprise the water-insoluble compounds (A)(a).
