Any other information on results incl. tables

In three experiments it was determined, whether it is possible to isolate waterfree substance from the solution. It was tried to evaporate the solution to remove the water at 50°C and 70°C.

It was shown, that the substance is not stable under these conditions. During the test at 50°C at 60 -70 mbar in a reasonable distillation time ca. 65 % of the water was distilled of.

It was found, that 26 % of the starting material has decomposed/polymerized. At 70°C ca. 45 % of the substance is lost.

A DSC-investigation showed, that the substance in solution is thermally not stable. At temperatures above 80°C exothermal reaction starts with an energy similar to that of a polymerization reaction

of an olefine.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance as such cannot be isolated from the solution. Under the conditions applied in the tests a major amount of the substance converted into another substance, most likely polymer.
As a conclusion the water content is needed to stabilize the substance. The highest achieved concentration of the substance in the solution was ca.41 %, but under this conditions 26 % of
the substance was converted, which means that the substance identity (calculated as water free) does no longer meet the monoconstituent definition (< 74 % of sodium vinylsulfonate compared to
>= 92 in the starting solution).
