The invention relates to a process for preparing a dispersion of a lipophilic compound in a continuous hydrophilic phase, the morphology of which is submicronic. During the preparation of this dispersion, there is applied, by means of a device which produces a shearing gradient less than 5000 s.sup.−1, a shear stress from 100 to 5000 Pa during the addition of the lipophilic compound in the continuous phase which comprises a rheology-modifying compound selected from anionic copolymers, preferably an anionic polymer, in particular an ASE polymer or a HASE polymer. The dispersed particles of the lipophilic compound are nanometric particles whose size is less than 1 μm. The dispersion, particularly in the form of an emulsion, can be used in numerous fields.

Thermoplastic elastomer compositions comprising acrylic multigraft copolymers are described. The multigraft copolymers comprise a rubbery polyacrylate backbone and a plurality of randomly spaced glassy polyacrylate side chains. The multigraft copolymers can be prepared using a facile grafting through method that can provide copolymers with enhanced purity. The acrylic multigraft copolymers exhibit microphase separated morphologies and “superelastomeric” properties, including an elongation at break, strain at break, and/or strain recovery behavior that exceeds that of conventional triblock copolymer polyacrylate thermoplastic elastomers.
