Abstract
Abstract Anhydride-group- or carboxyl-group-containing graft copolymers of vinyl esters and other suitable monomers on polysaccharide esters of (A) a polysaccharide ester of aliphatic C 1 -C 5 -mono-carboxylic acids as the graft substrate and (B) a grafted-on monomer mixture of (a) a vinyl ester of a C 1 -C 18 -monocarboxylic acid and (b) maleic acid anhydride and/or semiesters of maleic acid and/or fumaric acid with aliphatic C 1 -C 14 -monoalcohols, the ratio by weight of (A) to (B) being from 1:0.1 to 1:2 and the molar ratio of (a) to (b) being from 1:0.5 to 1:3, and a process for producing these graft copolymers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A process for producing a graft copolymer which comprises radically polymerizing in homogeneous solution 0.1 to 2 parts by weight of a monomer mixture of (a) 1 mole of a vinyl ester of a C 1 -C 18 -monocarboxylic acid and (b) from 0.5 to 3 moles of maleic acid anhydride and/or a semiester of maleic acid and/or fumaric acid with aliphatic C 1 -C 24 -monoalcohols in the presence of one part by weight of a polysaccharide ester of an aliphatic C 1 -C 5 -monocarboxylic acid and in the presence of a catalytic amount of a radical initiator selected from the group consisting of organic peroxides, peroxydicarbonates, readily decomposable azo compounds and short-wave radiation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A process for producing a graft copolymer which comprises radically polymerizing in homogeneous solution 0.1 to 2 parts by weight of a monomer mixture of (a) 1 mole of a vinyl ester of a C 1 -C 18 -monocarboxylic acid and (b) from 0.5 to 3 moles of maleic acid anhydride and/or a semiester of maleic acid and/or fumaric acid with aliphatic C 1 -C 24 -monoalcohols in the presence of one part by weight of a polysaccharide ester of an aliphatic C 1 -C 5 -monocarboxylic acid and in the presence of a catalytic amount of a radical initiator selected from the group consisting of organic peroxides, peroxydicarbonates, readily decomposable azo compounds and short-wave radiation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the solvent for said homogeneous solution is at least one member selected from the group consisting of tert.-butanol, methylene chloride and glacial acetic acid.
