The present invention relates to a curable petroleum resin, a preparation method therefor, and use thereof, wherein the curable petroleum resin comprises a repeating unit derived from a petroleum resin monomer, a repeating unit derived from a silane monomer and a repeating unit derived from a cyclic anhydride monomer, and wherein the curable petroleum resin is used as an additive for a reactive polyolefin-based adhesive composition to increase the adhesive strength to a polyolefin-based substrate used for various parts.

The present invention relates to a polymer dispersion, which comprises polymer particles dispersed in an aqueous continuous phase. The polymer particles are obtainable by a radical polymerisation of one or more vinyl monomers comprising alkyl (meth)acrylates. A rosin component is dissolved into at least one of the vinyl monomers before the radical polymerisation of the vinyl monomers, and the radical polymerisation is conducted in the presence of the rosin component. The invention relates also to the use of the polymer dispersion for surface sizing of a cellulosic fibre web and to a method for producing a polymer dispersion.
