| 20080280070 | Coating Compositions Containing Levelling Agents Prepared by Nitroxyl Mediated Polymerisation - The present invention relates to coating compositions containing a polymeric or copolymeric levelling agent, which has been prepared by nitroxyl-mediated polymerisation. Further aspects are a process for the preparation of smooth surface coatings and the use of said polymer or copolymer as levelling agent in coating compositions. Yet another aspect are specific ethylenically unsaturated monomer compositions from which copolymers can be obtained by atom transfer radical polymerisation or nitroxyl mediated polymerisation, which copolymers are useful as levelling agents in coating compositions. Still another aspect is the use of poly-tert.-butyl acrylate or poly-tert.butylmethacrylate as a levelling agent in powder coating compositions. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090186285 | COLOR FILTER COMPOSITION - The invention relates to a color filter composition comprising a) a photoresist binder, b) a transparent pigment, c) optionally a solvent and/or optionally a photoinitiator or a photolatent catalyst, d) a dispersant which is a polymer or copolymer obtainable by a process comprising the steps of a1) polymerizing in a first step one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of at least one nitroxylether having the structural element wherein X represents a group having at least one carbon atom and is such that the free radical X derived from X is capable of initiating polymerization; or a2) polymerizing in a first step one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of at least one stable free nitroxyl radical and a free radical initiator; wherein at least one monomer used in the steps a1) or a2) is a C | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090221739 | Process for the Post-Modification of Homo and Copolymers Prepared by Controlled Free Radical Polymerization Processes - The instant invention pertains to the preparation of polymers or copolymers wherein in a first step a controlled free radical polymerization process is carried out and in a second step the resulting polymer is modified by transesterification reactions. The final modified polymer or copolymer is useful as a dispersant for pigments. Further aspects of the invention are the thus prepared polymers or copolymers, a pigment concentrate containing the polymer or copolymer and a coating material containing the pigment concentrate. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100234484 | Water based concentrated product forms of photoinitiators made by a heterophase polymerization technique - The invention relates to a concentrated aqueous polymer dispersion with an average particle size of less than 1000 nm comprising a) a polymer carrier prepared by heterophase radical polymerization of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer in the presence of b) a photoinitiator and/or photolatent catalyst and c) optionally a non-ionic, cationic or anionic surfactant, wherein the weight ratio of the photoinitiator and/or photolatent catalyst to the polymer carrier is greater than 20 parts of photoinitiator and/or photolatent catalyst per 100 parts of polymer carrier, preferably equal or greater than 35 parts of photoinitiator and/or photolatent catalyst per 100 parts of polymer carrier. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100265564 | Encapsulated dispersions comprising electrophoretically mobile organic colorants - The invention relates to an electrophoretic display, comprising electrodes and cells containing at least one kind of ionic, monochrome particles, a non-polar liquid and a dispersant, wherein the ionic, monochrome particles of at least one kind are essentially aggregates consisting of a carbon containing pigment and an anionic pigment or anionic pigment derivative, and the dispersant is selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyesters, polyurethanes and copolymers. In general, the whole quantity of the pigment and the main part, preferably at least 80%, most preferred from 95% to 100%, of the whole anionic pigment or anionic pigment derivative present within the cells is comprised in the aggregates, with essentially no pigment and only a minor part of the anionic pigment or anionic pigment derivative physically distinct from the aggregates. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100290103 | ENCAPSULATED DISPERSIONS COMPRISING ELECTROPHORETICALLY MOBILE ORGANIC COLORANTS - The invention relates to an electrophoretic display, comprising electrodes and cells containing at least one kind of ionic, monochrome particles, a non-polar liquid and a dispersant, wherein the ionic, monochrome particles of at least one kind are essentially aggregates consisting of a carbon containing pigment and a cationic pigment orcationic pigment derivative, and the dispersantis selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyesters, polyurethanes and copolymers, with the proviso that the cationic pigment or cationic pigment derivative is not a reaction product of carbonblack with diazotated procaine hydrochloride.
