Abstract
In order to make it possible to treat particles in such a manner that they are stabilized as disperse particles in liquid media, such as varnishes, a method of coating particles with LCST polymers is proposed which is characterized by the following steps: a) dissolution of an LCST polymers in a solvent at a temperature below the LCST; b) mixing the solution obtained in step a) with the particles to be coated; and c) increasing the temperature of the mixture obtained in step b) to or beyond the point at which the LCST polymer deposits onto the particle surfaces.
