Stable dispersions of synthetic polymer in an inert organic liquid in which the polymer is insoluble are prepared by forming the particles in the liquid in the presence in solution in the liquid of a polymeric stabilizer which associates with the particles and provides around the particles a stabilizing steric barrier. Additionally, the stabilizer is coreacted with the disperse polymer, each coreacted stabilizer molecule forming covalent links with the disperse polymer. The coreaction may be an addition or a copolymerization reaction. |
