Patent number: 4880859Abstract: Light-stabilized star polymer microparticles are described which are prepared with particular advantage by group transfer polymerization. The light stabilization is effected by carrying out at least a part step of the polymerization in the presence of a light stabilizer, for example a hindered amine or/and a UV absorber. With particular advantage, those light stabilizers are used which contain reactive groups in the molecule and, in this way, can be chemically incorporated into the polymer. The polymer microparticles show excellent light stability and are outstandingly suitable as constituents in coating compositions which can be processed, for example, to give coating films of high light stability.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1988Date of Patent: November 14, 1989Assignee: Ciba-Geigy CorporationInventors: Mario Slongo, Jean Rody, Franciszek Sitek, Andreas Valet
