A polymer complex is disclosed which is the reaction product of one or more polymers having a terminal or pendant hydroxyl group, or a terminal or pendent carboxyl group, or combinations thereof, with at least one metal complex and one alkyl phosphate. This polymer complex acts as an adhesion promotion agent as well as a viscosity stabilizer when formulated in a printing ink or coating.

An impact-modified composition and a method of making an impact-modified composition are provided. In an embodiment, the method includes reacting a phosphazene material with an acrylamide material to form a functionalized phosphazene material; initiating a polymerization reaction on a reaction mixture comprising the functionalized phosphazene material and one or more monomers to form an impact-modified phosphazene material; and adding the an impact-modified phosphazene material to a polymeric material.
