An improved coating for heat resistant substrates is an aqueous dispersion of polymers prepared by polymerization of olefinically unsaturated monomers in an aqueous medium in the presence of radical formers and emulsifiers, wherein the emulsifiers are polyisocyanate addition products having a molecular weight below 20,000 and containing from 5 to 1000 milliequivalents of anionic structures corresponding to the following formula

Process for the preparation of aqueous polymer dispersions the

Activator formulations which contain copolymers of (meth)acrylonitrile, styrenes, acrylates and/or unsaturated acids as binders are excellently suitable for preparing nonmetallic substrate surfaces for electroless metallization. The metal deposits produced are notable for good bond strength.

Method of improving the bond strength of electrolessly deposited metal

Anhydride-group- or carboxyl-group-containing graft copolymers of vinyl esters and other suitable monomers on polysaccharide esters of (A) a polysaccharide ester of aliphatic C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -mono-carboxylic acids as the graft substrate and (B) a grafted-on monomer mixture of (a) a vinyl ester of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -monocarboxylic acid and (b) maleic acid anhydride and/or semiesters of maleic acid and/or fumaric acid with aliphatic C.sub.1 -C.sub.14 -monoalcohols, the ratio by weight of (A) to (B) being from 1:0.1 to 1:2 and the molar ratio of (a) to (b) being from 1:0.5 to 1:3, and a process for producing these graft copolymers.

A process for the production of ethylene graft copolymers containing anhydride or carboxyl groups in homogeneous or heterogeneous phase in tert.-butanol or methylene chloride wherein (A) from 5 to 70% by weight of a monomer mixture of: (a) from 10 to 80% by weight of a vinyl ester of an aliphatic C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -monocarboxylic acid; and (b) from 90 to 30% by weight of maleic acid anhydride and/or its C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 -alkyl semiesters; are radically polymerized in the presence of (B) from 95 to 30% by weight of an ethylene homopolymer or an ethylene/vinyl ester copolymer as the graft substrate.

Process for the production of ethylene graft copolymers containing

An azo di-isobutyric acid-(N,N'-hydroxyalkyl)-amidine corresponding to the formula (I): ##STR1## in which R and R', which may be the same or different, represent linear or branched alkylene radicals containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and

Dispersions suitable for the manufacture of moulding compositions which can be cured with low shrinkage to give mouldings with excellent surfaces can be obtained by the addition of finely divided ethylene copolymers manufactured in aqueous emulsion to unsaturated polyester resins.

Polymerizable organic dispersions

Pourable and pumpable, storage-stable organic dispersions which can be cured with little shrinkage comprising unsaturated polyesters, copolymerizable vinyl monomers, ethylene vinyl ester copolymers and optionally dispersing agents.
