1 / 1 abstract “continuous process for the manufacture of mono- or di-carboxylic acid homo- or copolymers, a polymer obtainable by the continuous process, and, use of a polymer - the present invention relates to a continuous process for the manufacture of homo- or highly branched copolymers of mono- or di-carboxylic acid c- c monoethylenically unsaturated, as well as the 38 anhydrides and salts thereof (monomer a) via free radical polymerization of monomer a and optionally water-soluble monomers monoethylenically unsaturated (mono mer b) in an aqueous medium in the presence of at least one water-soluble initiator, wherein polymerization takes place in at least one segment of the tubular reactor. |
