Abstract:
1. A method of polymerizing addition polymerizable monomers comprising contacting addition polymerizable monomers with a catalyst in a solvent comprising a surfactant-containing particle, wherein the surfactant-containing particle is obtained by mixing a particle of an inorganic compound or an organic polymer with at least one surfactant having formula [1]: wherein R 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, R 2 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, m is a number of 1 to 100, multiple R 2 groups may be the same or different from each other, Q 1 is —C(═O)OM 1 ,—R 3 —C(═O)OM 1 , —S(═O) 2 OM 1 , —R 3 —S(═O) 2 OM 1 , —P(═O)(OH)(OM 1 ),—P(═O)(OR 4 )(OM 1 ), —R 3 —P(═O)(OR 4 )(OM 1 ), —P(═O)(OM 1 ) 2 , or —R 3 —P(═O)(OM 1 ) 2 , M 1 is a hydrogen atom, NH 4 , NH(R 12 OH) 3 or an alkali metal atom, multiple M 1 groups may be the same or different from each other, R 3 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 4 is a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 12 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and multiple R 12 groups may be the same or different from each other; wherein the catalyst is formed by contacting (A) a transition metal compound having formula [3] or a μ-oxo type transition metal compound dimer thereof with (B) an activating agent: wherein M 2 is a transition metal atom of Group 4 of the Periodic Table, L 1 is a group having a cyclopentadienide frame or a group containing a hetero atom, multiple L 1 groups may be linked to each other directly or via a residue containing a carbon atom, a silicon atom, a nitrogen atom, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or a phosphorus atom, X 1 is a halogen atom, a hydrocarbyl group other than a group having a cyclopentadienide frame, or a hydrocarbyloxy group, a is a number satisfying 0<a≦3, and b is a number satisfying 0<b≦3.
