Abstract
This invention provides a pigment dispersing resin having a weight-average molecular weight within a range of 1,000-150,000, which is obtained by copolymerizing a monomeric mixture comprising (a) a macromonomer obtained by polymerizing at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer in the presence of a metal complex as a catalytic chain transfer agent, or an addition cleavage-type chain transfer agent and if necessary a radical polymerization initiator, which macromonomer having a resin acid value less than 50 mgKOH/g, and (b) at least one copolymerizable unsaturated monomer, wherein at least one monomer among the ethylenically unsaturated monomer(s) constituting said macromonomer (a) and the copolymerizable unsaturated monomer(s) (b) has a functional group selected from substituted or unsubstituted amino group, quaternary ammonium salt group, sulfonic group, phosphoric group and carboxyl group.
