The patent US12018113B2 outlines a method for producing a final polymer A through a series of defined steps. The process begins with the provision of a starting polymer V, which is synthesized via radical polymerization using specific monomer compositions. The claims detail the proportions of various monomers, including a primary monomer of formula I, C1-C4 alkyl esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid, and monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic or sulfonic acids. The method emphasizes the importance of hydrolyzing a significant percentage of the polymerized monomers during the production process, with specific ranges provided for each type of monomer involved.

Additionally, the patent describes the potential reactions that occur in the second step of the method, where ester groups from the monomers can react to form five-membered lactam structural units or carboxylic acid groups. The claims also specify the use of a base in the reaction, with a defined molar ratio to the monomers. Furthermore, the patent includes a method for producing paper or cardboard by incorporating the final polymer A into an aqueous pulp suspension, indicating practical applications for the synthesized polymer in the paper industry. Overall, the claims provide a comprehensive framework for the synthesis and application of the final polymer A, highlighting the specific chemical components and their interactions.
