A composition comprises a solution of film forming polymer, containing reactive functionality, dissolved in organic solvent and insoluble reinforcing particles dispersed therein. The reinforcing particles, being formed in the presence of the film forming polymer, are the reaction product of a system comprising (a) polyethylenically unsaturated monomer, (b) a portion of said film-forming polymer and, when said reactive functionality is other than ethylenic unsaturation, (c) a linking monomer which contains both ethylenic unsaturation and a group reactive with said reactive functionality. The composition has use in or as a film, coating mastic, adhesive or caulk composition. |
