  • High solids content dendrimer polymer composition
    Patent number: 10400132
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer composition comprising: (i) one or more dendritic polymers; and (ii) a reactive diluent that is capable of being chemically coupled to the functional groups of the dendritic polymers, wherein when the dendritic polymer is coupled to the reactive diluent in the presence of a cross-linker, a polymerized solid is formed at high concentrations in a liquid medium. The present invention further relates to methods of preparing the polymer composition and its use in forming coatings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 3, 2019

  • Aqueous dispersible polymer composition
    Patent number: 9284470
    Abstract: There is provided an aqueous dispersible polymer composition comprising: (i) a hydroxyl functional dendritic polymer; (ii) one or more polar compounds, the polar compounds being miscible with both the hydroxyl functional dendritic polymer and an aqueous solvent; and wherein the one or more polar compounds are present in an amount sufficient to disperse the hydroxyl functional dendritic polymer in the aqueous solvent. There is also provided a coating composition comprising the same and processes for preparing the aqueous dispersible polymer composition and the coating composition.
