Process for producing aqueous resin dispersion

A method for producing a stable aqueous resin dispersion composition. In the method, a monomer mixture containing a carboxyl monomer having a carboxyl group and a hydrophobic monomer is first prepared. The monomer mixture contains 10 to 75% by mole of the carboxyl monomer. Then, the monomer mixture is subjected to radical polymerization at 180 to 350°C to produce a macromonomer. The macromonomer is neutralized. The neutralized macromonomer has an ethylenically unsaturated bond at least at one end. Using the neutralized macromonomer as an emulsifier, a vinyl monomer is subjected to emulsion polymerization in an aqueous solvent. Thus, a substantially uniform aqueous resin dispersion composition is produced. Even when a solvent is added to this aqueous resin dispersion composition, the emulsion state of the dispersion is maintained.

Treatment assembly, method for producing same, and treatment tool

A treatment assembly which is configured to treat a biological tissue includes a probe and a sheath. The probe defines a longitudinal axis and the sheath defines a central axis. The sheath inserts the probe in a state that a distal end portion of the probe protrudes toward a distal end side with respect to a distal end and a proximal end portion of the probe protrudes toward a proximal end side with respect to a proximal end. The sheath includes a cylindrical inner tube having an opening, which allows an inner side and an outer side thereof to communicate with each other in a side surface thereof, a support section which is arranged on the inner side of the sheath from the outer side of the sheath through the opening, and supports the probe in a state that the longitudinal axis of the probe is matched with the central axis of the sheath, and an outer tube which covers the outer side of the inner tube, and fixes the support section in a state that the longitudinal axis of the probe is matched with the central axis of the sheath.
