Abstract: The instant invention pertains to the preparation of polymers or copolymers wherein in a first step a controlled free radical polymerization process is carried out and in a second step the resulting polymer is modified by transesterification reactions. The final modified polymer or copolymer is useful as a dispersant for pigments. Further aspects of the invention are the thus prepared polymers or copolymers, a pigment concentrate containing the polymer or copolymer and a coating material containing the pigment concentrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition containing modified block copolymer dispersants and dispersible inorganic or organic pigments. The block copolymers are prepared by atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) and modified with a salt forming group. The pigment composition is useful for preparing coating compositions, prints, images, inks or lacquers and other disperse systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to comb polymers and macromonomers based on acrylates prepared by the ATRP (Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization) method. These polymers have an improved capability of dispersing pigments in the given solvent. The invention also relates to compositions comprising the comb polymers and macromonomers dispersible inorganic or organic pigment particles. The compositions are used by applying them to any suitable substrate, for example to metal, wood plastic or ceramic materials.
