Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to processes for converting an ester group to an acid group for polymers having a pendant ester of an acid group. This process is generally performed using an aqueous strong base.

Claim (Index 58):
A process for converting an ester group of a polymer to an acid group comprising:\n forming a reaction mixture being an aqueous suspension and having a substantially oxygen-free atmosphere, the reaction mixture comprising an aqueous strong base solution and a polymer having a pendant ester of an acid group which hydrolyzes to produce a polymer comprising the pendant acid group or a salt thereof and an alcohol, wherein the polymer having a pendant ester of an acid group is in a bead form and the reaction mixture comprises at least 5 kg of a polymer having a pendant ester of an acid group.
