Aspartic acid copolymer and process for producing the same

摘要

This invention an aspartic acid copolymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer mixture comprising (1) aspartic acid, maleamic acid and/or a reaction product of maleic acid and ammonia as a main monomer, (2) fumaric acid, and (3) succinic acid and containing 0.005 to 3% by weight, based on the total monomers, of ammonia in the form of an ammonium salt and hydrolyzing the resulting copolymer partially or completely; and a process for producing the same.
