Abstract

A method of preparing an aqueous dispersion of opacifying polymer particles containing inorganic pigment particles therein is disclosed. The method yields hollow polymer particles containing pigment particles therein using a non-RAFT emulsion polymerization process by free radical polymerization. The technique is much faster and simpler than known RAFT methods.
