<Prior Art> It is widely practiced to produce organic fine particles by an emulsion polymerization method, but usually the average particle size is 0.1 to 0.4 μm and the particle size distribution is wide. Further, various measures have been taken to obtain a fine particle size. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,740,369 discloses that fine particles can be obtained by swelling with alkali in a state where a water-soluble solvent is added to an acrylic polymer containing a carboxyl group and stirring at high temperature and high speed. Further, JP-A-54-103498 provides a method for producing a polymer containing vinyl acetate, a lower alkyl ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid as a main component and having a particle size of 0.005 to 0.05 μm. Thereafter, the particles are fused together to form a homogeneous film, or mixed with another dispersion to form a homogeneous film.

According to JP-A-61-241310, a method for producing a stable emulsion of crosslinked polymer particles is reported, but the particle size range known from the examples is 0.35 to 0.55μ, and
The particle size distribution is not explained. In recent years, particles having an average particle size of 0.1μ or less and a narrow particle size distribution are mixed in the coating film while maintaining their shape, and the opportunity to be used for surface modification is expanding, but specific gravity and surface energy Inorganic fine particles were often used in spite of problems in dispersibility and adhesiveness with the binder, which are thought to be attributed to. Therefore, establishment of industrially useful production method of organic particles is required.

Examples of the crosslinkable monomer (B) in the present invention include divinylbenzene, ethylene glycol diacrylate or methacrylate, hexanediol diacrylate or methacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, tetramethylolmethane tetraacrylate, and triethylolmethane acrylate. Methylol propane trimethacrylate, diallyl phthalate triallyl cyanurate, etc. can be mentioned, and these 1 type (s) or 2 or more types can be used. Of these, divinylbenzene is most preferable. The crosslinkable monomer (B) is used to give the fine particle polymer a specific average particle size and particle size distribution, and is used within the range of 10 to 50% by weight in the monomer mixture. The crosslinkable monomer (B) is also effective for preventing the shape of the particles from being deformed in the film forming process when the fine particle polymer is used by mixing with the binder. If the amount of the crosslinkable monomer (B) used is less than 10% by weight, a fine particle polymer satisfying the average particle size and particle size distribution specified in the present invention cannot be obtained. Further, the crosslinking density becomes insufficient, and the particles are deformed during heating and drying, and depending on the type of solvent, they are dissolved and swelled, and the particle shape cannot be maintained. On the other hand, when the amount of the crosslinkable monomer (B) used exceeds 50% by weight, the copolymerizability is deteriorated and the adhesion with the binder is also decreased, which is not preferable.

The emulsifier used in the present invention needs to be an anionic emulsifier. Nonionic emulsifiers represented by polyoxyethylene nonyl phenyl ether and the like cannot provide the objective fine particle polymer having an average particle size in the range of 0.01 to 0.1 μ and a narrow particle size distribution. Examples of the anionic emulsifier include sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. The amount of the emulsifier is determined in the range of 0.05 to 5 parts by weight based on the desired average particle size with respect to 100 parts by weight of the monomer mixture. If the amount exceeds 5 parts by weight, the hygroscopicity of the particles may be increased, Further, the dispersion easily foams, and if the amount is less than 0.05 parts by weight, polymer fine particles having an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 0.1 μm cannot be obtained. The emulsifier amount is preferably 0.05 to 2 parts by weight.

As the polymerization initiator used in the present invention, it is necessary to use a redox-type polymerization initiator obtained by combining hydrogen peroxide with at least one reducing agent selected from ascorbic acid, tartaric acid, and ersorbic acid. Only by using the redox type initiator according to this combination, the average particle size and particle size distribution fine particle polymer defined in the present invention can be produced. When an inorganic peroxide represented by ammonia persulfate is used as an initiator, it is an object of the present invention.
Attempting to obtain an average particle size of 0.1 μm or less is not preferable because a large amount of coagulated product is generated during polymerization. The initiator may be an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and a reducing agent, and may be added continuously or intermittently to the reaction system. Alternatively, the entire amount of hydrogen peroxide may be added to the reaction system in advance and the reducing agent may be added. A method of continuously adding may be used.

Emulsion polymerization is carried out in an aqueous medium in which the concentration of non-volatile components at the end of the polymerization reaction is 5 to 30% by weight. If the concentration is less than 5% by weight, it is uneconomical. On the contrary, if the concentration exceeds 30% by weight, the stability during the polymerization reaction becomes problematic. Further, it is difficult to obtain a fine particle polymer having an average particle size and a particle size distribution specified in the present invention by emulsion polymerization at a concentration outside the specified range. The emulsion polymerization may be carried out by a well-known emulsion polymerization method, for example, a monomer dropping method, a pre-emulsion method, or a batch charging polymerization method. When the monomer dropping method is used, especially the particle size distribution It is preferable because a fine particle polymer having a narrow range can be obtained.

In the present invention, a scale representing the degree of particle size distribution is a quotient (Dw / Dn) of the weight average particle size (Dw) and the number average particle size (Dn).
This value is 1 for monodisperse particles. Since this value increases depending on the breadth of the particle size distribution, it can be used as a measure of monodispersity [Souichi Muroi, Chemistry of Polymer Latex (Polymer Publishing Society)]. The average particle size can be determined by measurement from a transmission electron microscope photograph or a dynamic light scattering particle size measuring device.

And the particle size distribution represented by the quotient (Dw / Dn) of the number average particle size (Dn) is 1.2 or less, and the particle size is fine and uniform without any coarse particles. Moreover, it has excellent heat resistance and solvent resistance. Therefore, applications such as surface modification of films and sheets where inorganic fine particles had to be used despite the fact that there was a problem with the adhesiveness with the binder such as a slippery agent for magnetic tapes and thermal transfer ink ribbons. Can be suitably used.

Example 1. 400 parts of deionized water and 0.25 part of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate were placed in a glass reaction kettle equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, and a cooling tube, and the internal temperature was kept at 75 ° C. After purging the reaction vessel with nitrogen, 10% of a monomer mixture consisting of 75 parts of methyl methacrylate, 5 parts of methacrylic acid and 20 parts of divinylbenze (80% concentration) and hydrogen peroxide (30% concentration).
The reaction was initiated by adding a redox initiator prepared by dissolving 1 part and 0.1 part of ascorbic acid in 25 parts of water. Then, with the inner temperature of the reaction vessel kept at 75 ° C, the remaining amount of the monomer mixture, 0.
225 parts of 5% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution and 225 parts of 0.5% ascorbic acid aqueous solution were uniformly added dropwise over 2 hours. The temperature was further raised to 80 ° C., the reaction was carried out for 2 hours, and then the mixture was cooled. The dispersion liquid of the obtained fine particle polymer (1) had a solid content of 10.1%, and the particle size of the fine particle polymer (1) obtained from a photograph taken with a transmission electron microscope at a magnification of 100,000 was a number average particle diameter of 0.0721. μ,
