Abstract

Block copolymers denoted by AB from acrylic or methacrylic acid, the corresponding blocks being denoted by A, and from alkyl acrylate or methacrylate with the alkyl chain being C.sub.1 -C.sub.10, the corresponding blocks being denoted by B. Said copolymer blocks are used as wetting and/or dispersing agents for solid particles in an essentially organic medium consisting of a solvent or a mixture of solvents solubilizing the block B. The invention also concerns solid particle dispersions using the above-defined block copolymers. It also concerns compositions, in particular cosmetic compositions, containing said dispersions.
