Patent ID: 7960492

Claim:
Polybranched, particulate, organic/ inorganic hybrid polymer, characterized in that the polymer is a sol-gel product with the following chemical basic structure: where R 1 -R 6 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, non-substituted saturated or unsaturated C 1 -C 24 alkyl, substituted saturated or unsaturated C 1 -C 24 alkyl, substituted or non-substituted aryl, carbonyl, while carbon chains present in such groups optionally contain one or more of the elements oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorous, silicon, and boron or where R 1 -R 6 are chosen from condensation products or addition products of one or more type of chemical compounds selected from the group consisting of alcohols, phenols, amines, aldehydes and epoxides, and where X is a linkage group chosen among saturated or unsaturated C 1 -C 18 alkylene, substituted or non- substituted arylene, while the carbon chains present in such groups are optionally be branched and/or contain one or more of the elements oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorous, silicon, and boron.
