The present invention relates to a
biodegradable polymer composition formed by waterborne radical
emulsion polymerization of monomers selected from ethylenically unsaturated monomers characterized in that, the
polymer composition is composed of at least two different populations of particles, said populations differing in average particle
size value by at least a factor of 1.5, wherein (a) a
population P1 is constituted by particles having an average particle size of greater than 250 nanometers, said particles being constituted of
polymer chains predominantly built of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, further comprising 0.5 to 50% by C weight of
oligomer lactide 2-hydroxyethyl,
methacrylate terminated
macromonomer, based on the total weight of the monomers, and (b) a
population P2, distinctive of P1 by average particle
size value, is constituted by particles having an average particle size of less than or equal to 250 nanometers, said particles being constituted of
polymer chains predominantly built of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, further comprising 0.5 to 50% by weight of
oligomer lactide 2-hydroxyethyl,
methacrylate terminated
macromonomer, based on the total weight of the monomers, wherein said two different populations jointly constitute at least 70% by weight, preferably 90% by weight, of the total polymeric content within said composition.
