Abstract

This invention relates to an improved free radical polymerization process for directly producing stable vinylpyridine polymer particles in an aqueous suspension and in a high state of polymer purity by effecting the polymerization in the presence of a water soluble suspension agent selected from the group of polyvinyl lactam, a hydroxy-containing polymer, a polyvinyl alcohol and a mixture thereof.
