Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a stable microdispersion of particles comprised of acrylic polymers in an organic solvent used as reaction medium in the presence of a stabilizing agent comprised of a block copolymer, characterized in that said acrylic polymer is obtained by radical polymerization of at least one acrylic monomer in the presence of a block copolymer based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polytert-butyl acrylate (PtBuA). It also relates to microdispersions which may be obtained by said process as well as to microgels produced from said microdispersions and compositions, particularly cosmetic compositions such as nail varnish.
