Abstract
A repeatedly usable and releasable sheet is coated thereon with an adhesive copolymer microspheres-containing aqueous suspension and polymer microparticles prepared by polymerization of one or more vinyl monomers. In the presence of a protective colloid comprising casein, the microspheres is prepared by aqueous suspension polymerization of (a) from 70 to 99.9 percent by weight of one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylate esters and alkyl methacrylate esters, (b) from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of one or more .alpha.-monoolefin carboxylic acids and (c) from 0 to 29.9 percent by weight of one or more vinyl monomers other than the foregoing (a) and (b).
Claims3
A method preparing an aqueous suspension comprising the steps of:
- (1) aqueous suspension polymerizing 100 parts by weight of the following monomer ingredients comprising (a), (b) and (c) in the presence of a protective colloid comprising casein as a main ingredient:
- (a) from 70 to 99.9 percent by weight of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylate esters and alkyl methacrylate esters, in which said alkyl moiety has 4-12 carbon atoms,
- (b) from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of at least one .alpha.-monoolefin carboxylic acid, and
- (c) from 0 to 29.9 percent by weight of at least one monomer other than the foregoing (a) and (b), selected from the group consisting of acrylates and methacrylates to form an aqueous suspension containing adhesive copolymer microspheres having an average diameter of 10-100.mu., and then
- (2) polymerizing in the suspension 20-300 parts by weight of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylates and methacrylates to form polymerized microparticles having an average diameter of 0.1-4.mu..
