Abstract: The present disclosure provides multilayer particles comprising (i) a first layer comprising a first copolymer with an Mn of greater than 50,000 g/mol derived from one or more soft ethylenically-unsaturated monomers, and one or more phosphorus-containing monomer; and (ii) a second layer surrounding at least a portion of the first layer comprising a second polymer having an Mn of 500 g/mol to 50,000 g/mol, derived from one or more ethylenically-unsaturated monomer, and at least one ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer, wherein the second layer is prepared by a high temperature polymerization process. The present disclosure further provides methods of making the multilayer particles.

Abstract: Multiphase polymers comprising crosslinking monomers and polyfunctional amine are disclosed. The multiphase polymer comprises a first phase polymer having a Tg from 60° C. to 240° C., a second phase polymer having a Tg from 40° C. to 240° C., and a soft phase polymer having a Tg from -25° C. to 30° C. The crosslinking monomers include a triacrylate such as trimethylol propane triacrylate, an unsaturated alkoxysilane, and an unsaturated keto monomer reactive with the polyfunctional amine. In contrast to conventional knowledge, incorporation of trimethylolpropane triacrylate reduces the minimum film forming temperature of multiphase polymers. This unusual reduction in MFFT helps to reduce the VOC requirement to form a good film at low VOC. The other crosslinking monomers including unsaturated alkoxy silane and unsaturated keto monomer which react with the polyfunctional amine improve print resistance, block resistance and lower the tackiness of paint films.
