PCT No. PCT/EP94/02207 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 31, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 31, 1996 PCT Filed Jul. 6, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/04088 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 9, 1995Sulfonated and oxidized indene polymers obtainable by (a) polymerization of indene or indene derivatives of the general formula I <IMAGE> I where R1 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and n is 1 or 2, or of mixtures which contain the compounds I as well as other copolymerizable and/or non-polymerizable organic compounds in an amount of at least 10% by weight, b) sulfonation of the polymer with a sulfonating agent at from 40 DEG to 130 DEG C., and c) non-chain-degrading oxidation of the polymer at from 80 DEG to 180 DEG C. These indene polymers are suitable for use as dispersants for example in dye and pigment preparations. |
