PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dispersing agent which makes it possible to obtain a dispersion which is less likely to form bubbles, does not form any spots, hardly causes fogging, has high gloss and good transparency. A coating composition is provided. SOLUTION: As a dispersant, a gradient copolymer which transitions from hydrophilic to hydrophobic along a polymer chain obtained by controlled living polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer using a non-high molecular weight monofunctional initiator is used as a dispersant. use.
