Inorganic particles.

摘要

A method for the preparation of colloidally stable particles of inorganic solid at high concentration which method comprises at least the step of precipitating from an aqueous medium the particles of the inorganic solid in the presence of a copolymer which comprises repeating units derived from: Component A: a hydrophilic oligomer or polymer bearing an addition-polymerisable olefinically-unsaturated group; Component B: an olefinically-unsaturated compound capable of copolymerising with Component A and bearing a mineral acid group or a dicarboxylic acid group, or a carboxylic acid and a further group capable of hydrogen-bonding. n
