    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a dispersion (D°), comprising : (E1) a polymerization performed in an aqueous medium in the presence of: ° at least a pre-polymer (pO) of formula (R11)X-Z11-C(=S)-Z12-[A]-R12, which is soluble in the aqueous medium ° at least one free-radical polymerization initiator; and ° at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrophobic monomer (m) with a ratio m/pO of the mass of the monomers (m) to the quantity of pre-polymer (pO) preferably below 10 000 g/mol whereby a dispersion of copolymers is obtained, including polymers with a living character; (E2) a conversion of the terminal groups of the copolymers that deprive the copolymers of their living character. The invention also relates to the use of dispersion (D°) for forming dispersions of hydrophobic polymers (Dp), suitable e.g. in fabric conditioning compositions.

    Abstract: A seed or seedling is coated with a cross-linked biopolymer and, optionally, a second binder selected from underivatized guar, cationic hydroxypropyl guar, polyacrylamide, poly(methacrylic acid), poly(acrylic acid), polyacrylate, poly(ethylene glycol), polyethyleneoxide, polyamide, hydroxypropyl guar, carboxymethyl guar, carboxymethylhydroxypropyl guar, underivatized starch, cationic starch, corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, tapioca, waxy maize, sorghum, waxy sarghum, sago, dextrin, chitin, chitosan, xanthan gum, carageenan gum, gum karaya, gum arabic, pectin, cellulose, hydroxycellulose, hydroxyalkyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethylhydroxyethyl cellulose, or hydroxypropyl cellulose. The seed coating composition is characterized by a dust value, as measured using a Heubach dustmeter device, which is lower by at least 30% as compared to an analogous composition that does not contain the crosslinked biopolymer.
