Patent number: 10669380Abstract: The present invention relates to amphiphilic star-like polyether. The core molecule is an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, which is further alkoxylated, first with ethylene oxide or combinations of ethylene oxide and C3-C20 alkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, and/or glycidol, and then with a C3-C20 alkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, or combination of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, then optionally anionically modified. The resulting amphiphilic star-like polyether thus has an inner core based on an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, an inner shell predominantly containing polyethylene oxide units, the inner shell comprising at least 3 ethylene oxide units and an outer shell predominantly containing polypropylene oxide units, the outer shell comprising at least 3 propylene oxide units. They optionally contain anionic groups instead of hydroxyl groups on the periphery of the macromolecule.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2015Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignees: BASF SE, HENKEL AG & CO. KGAAInventors: Holger Tuerk, Eva-Maria Reis-Walther, Sophie Maitro-Vogel, Anna Mueller-Cristadoro, Catherine Breffa, Alejandra Garcia Marcos, Benedikt Crone, Mareile Job, Birgit Gluesen, Iwona Spill
