FINE BOWL-SHAPED PARTICLE AND PRODUCTION THEREOF.

摘要

A novel, nearly semispherical or semiellipsoidal, fine bowl-shaped particle having a large concavity in the center and absorbing 80-140 ml/g of water; and a process for producing the same by the suspension polymerization of a polymerizable monomer in water in the presence of a cross-linking agent and a hydrophobic liquid. The particle has good slipperiness, adherence and water absorbency. The invention process can provide the particles very easily and permits the size and shape thereof to be regulated readily.
