POLYMER, POLYMER MODIFIED TITANIUM DIOXIDE PIGMENT, AND METHOD OF FORMING A PIGMENTED PAINT FORMULATION

摘要

A new polymer that is capable of forming a composite with titanium dioxide particles and latex particles when admixed therewith is provided. The new polymer includes a water soluble polymer backbone, a first functional group attached to the polymer backbone and having an affinity for latex, and a second functional group attached to the polymer backbone and capable of forming a bond with titanium dioxide. A polymer modified titanium dioxide pigment and a method of forming a pigmented paint formulation are also provided.
