Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one amphiphilic glycidyl ether copolymer composed of special structural units I to V, wherein at least one of the structural units I has an aromatic group, and wherein the structural units may each be arranged in a block, a gradient or randomly, as a dispersant and a dispersed solid matter or as an emulsifier and an unsaturated polymer system in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion to be cured.

Abstract: The invention relates to powder coating leveling agents comprising (a) at least one polypropylene oxide-containing polyether having a weight-average molecular weight of more than 1000 g/mol and a polypropylene oxide fraction of more than 75% by weight, and optionally (b) at least one poly(meth)acrylate. The invention further relates to the preparation of such leveling agents and to their use in powder coating materials, and also to powder coating materials comprising the leveling agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions comprising two structured linear copolymers selected from the group consisting of block copolymers and gradient copolymers, these copolymers being prepared by different controlled polymerization techniques and the difference in the polydispersities of these copolymers, ?(Mw/Mn), being ?0.25. The invention further relates to the production of such blends and to their use as wetting agents and dispersants.

Abstract: The invention relates to copolymers comprising three segments of different ion density, the fraction of the ionic monomers in each segment being from 1 to 100 mol %, the second and third segment containing ethylenically unsaturated monomers of the respectively preceding segment, and the copolymers being preparable by means of a monofunctional initiator by way of NMP or RAFT. The invention further relates to a process for preparing copolymers and to their use as dispersants.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of block copolymers as leveling agents for surface coatings, having a weight-average molecular weight of from 1000 to 100000. The leveling agent is a linear or branched block copolymer composed of a polysiloxane block and one or more blocks prepared from ethylenically unsaturated monomers by controlled free-radical addition polymerization. The invention also relates to coating compositions which comprise the leveling agent.
