Provided is a medical suture thread which is less likely to remain curled or is easily uncurled from a curled state. The medical suture thread 100 includes a core thread 110 and an outer thread 120. The core thread 110 includes multiple twisted ultrafine threads 111, and is arranged at a center portion of the medical suture thread 100. In the ultrafine thread 111, an inner-filament cover layer 112 made of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) is formed on an outer surface of a filament 111a. The outer thread 120 is formed to be braided with multiple ultrafine threads 121, and covers an outer surface of the core thread 110. In the ultrafine thread 121, an outer-filament cover layer 122 made of MPC is formed on an outer surface of a filament 121a. The inner-filament cover layer 112 and the outer-filament cover layer 122 are respectively formed on the outer surfaces of the filaments 111a, 121a within a weight range of equal to or greater than 0.05% and less than 0.3% with respect to the total weight of each of the filaments 111a, 121a, respectively.

A fluorescent water treatment polymer comprises at least one water soluble carboxylic acid monomer other than maleic acid, at least one sulfonated pyrene-containing fluorescent monomer, and at least one phosphino group wherein the phosphorous atom of the phosphino group is in the polymer backbone. Additional monomers can be present, with the proviso that if maleic acid is present it comprises no greater than 75 mol % of the polymer. Surprisingly, it has been found that when the phosphino group is present the polymers exhibit an unexpectedly strong fluorescent signal strength. The signal strength of the fluorescent monomer in the polymer is further enhanced when the polymer comprises no greater than 75 mol % maleic acid.

A porous polymer has a pore volume of 0.3 to 2.5 cm.sup.3/g and comprises a pore having a first pore diameter and a pore having a second pore diameter. A ratio of pore volume of the pore having a first pore diameter to pore volume of the pore having a second pore diameter is 1 to 10:1. The porous polymer is obtained by self-polymerization or copolymerization of at least one of the phosphorus ligands, and phosphorous content of the porous polymer is 1 to 5 mmol/g. The porous polymer-nickel catalyst made of the porous polymer has a significant increase in water resistance, which may reduce the consumption of phosphorus ligands, eliminating the steps of removing water from raw materials and reaction system water control, which greatly saves process equipment investment. When used in the preparation of adiponitrile from butadiene, it has high catalytic activity, high reaction selectivity, and high linearity.
