Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A process for producing an acrylic core/shell polymer having 55 to 85 parts of an acrylic rubbery core comprising polymerizing 15 to 45 parts of a hard shell polymer onto a pre-formed rubbery core polymer under emulsion conditions and spray-drying the resultant latex in a spray dryer while blowing 0.01 to 1.5 parts inert particulate material into the gaseous drying media of the spray dryer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
65 words
A process for producing an acrylic core/shell polymer having 55 to 85 parts of an acrylic rubbery core comprising polymerizing 15 to 45 parts of a hard shell polymer onto a pre-formed rubbery core polymer under emulsion conditions and spray-drying the resultant latex in a spray dryer while blowing 0.01 to 1.5 parts inert particulate material into the gaseous drying media of the spray dryer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The process of claim 1 where the core is 55 to 85 parts of crosslinked alkyl acrylate polymer and the shell 15 to 45 parts of lower alkyl methacrylate polymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
The process of claim 1 where the rubbery core is 55 to 85 parts of a copolymer of 79 to 99.5 parts n-butyl acrylate, 0 to 10 parts of one or more monovinyl or conjugated divinyl monomers, 0.1 to 5 parts crosslinking monomer, and 0.1 to 5 parts graftlinking monomer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process of claim 3 where the hard shell is 80 to 100 parts methyl methacrylate, 0 to 20 parts monovinylidene unsaturated monomer and 0 to 5 parts unsaturated carboxylic acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process of claim 1 where about 0.01 to 1.5% fumed silica based on weight of dry core/shell polymer is introduced into the drying chamber as a solid suspended in the gaseous drying medium.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the inert particulate material is selected from the group consisting of aluminum silicate, calcium carbonate, carbon black, titanium dioxide, polymethyl methacrylate, zinc oxide, and infusorial earth.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
The product in free flowing powder form produced by the process of claim 1.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
9 words
Thermoplastic polymers modified with the product of claim 7.
