Abstract:
A fluorescent pigment comprising polymerized units of:a. fluorescent dye;b. a first monomer having at least two functional groups wherein at least one functional group is a carboxyl group; andc. a second monomer having at least two functional groups wherein at least one functional group is an amine group;wherein the monomer in b and c may be the same molecule if and only if said same molecule has both an amine group and a carboxyl group;d. from 0 to about 49% of a third monomer containing at least two functional groups wherein at least one functional group is an alcohol group,wherein monomer d may be the same monomer as either b or c or both; and, further wherein the fluorescent pigment is a polyamide or a polyamide-ester.
