Claim 1

A PROCESS FOR COLORING AN ARTICLE COMPRISING THE STEP OF COLORING SAID ARTICLE WITH A COLORING AGENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTIG OF: A FIRST REACTIVE CHROMOGEN-BONDED-POLYMER WHICH CONTAINS IN ITS STRUTURE AT LEAST TWO WATER-INSOLUBLE CHROMOGENS, AT LEAST TWO REACTIVE RADICALS CAPABLE OF CROSS-LINKING WITH EACH OTHER TO FORM A HIGHER POLYMER AND CAPABLE OF LINKING WITH A FUNCTIONAL RADICAL OF AN ADDED REACTIVE COMPOUND AND OF SAID ARTICLE AND AT LEAST ONE RADICAL SELECTED FROM SOLUBILIZING AND DISPERSING RADICALS, SAID FIRST POLYMER BEING MADE BY THE STEPS OF INTRODUCING A DIAZONIUM RADICAL INTO A WATER-INSOLUBLE CHROMOGEN TO FORM A DIAZONIUM COMPOUND THEREOF AND POLYMERIZING AN ADDITION-POLYMERIZABLE MONOMER CONTAINING AT LEAST PARTLY A MONOMER HAVING A REACTIVE RADICAL USING SAID DIAZONIUM COMPOUND AS THE INITIATOR FOR SAID POLYMERIZING, A SECOND REACTIVE CHROMOGEN-BONDED-POLYMER WHICH CONTAINS IN ITS STRUCTURE AT LEAST TWO WATER INSOLUBLE CHROMOGENS, AT LEAST TWO REACTIVE RADICALS CAPABLE OF CROSS-LINKING WITH EACH OTHER TO FORM A HIGHER POLYMER AND CAPABLE OF LINKING WITH A FUNCTIONAL RADICAL OF AN ADDED REACTIVE COMPOUND AND OF SAID ARTICLE AND AT LEAST ONE RADICAL SELECTED FROM SOLUBILIZING AND DISPERSING RADICALS, SAID SECONG POLYMER BEING MADE BY THE STEPS OF INTRODUCING A DIAZONIUM RADICAL INTO A WATER-INSOLUBLE CHROMOGEN TO FORM A DIAZONIUM COMPOUND THEREOF, POLYMERIZING AN ADDITION-POLYMERIZABLE MONOMER CONTAINING AT LEAST PARTLY A MONOMER HAVING A REACTIVE RADICAL USING SAID DIAZONIUM COMPOUND AS AN INITIATOR FOR SAID POLYMERIZING, AND REACTING THE CHROMOGEN-BONDED-POLYMER RESULTING FROM SAID POLYMERIZATION WITH A COMPOUND WHICH IS CAPABLE OF INTRODUCING A REACTIVE RADICAL INTO SAID LAST-NAMED POLYMER BY REACTION WITH SAID POLYMER, A THIRD REACTIVE CHROMOGENBONDED-POLYMER WHICH CONTAINS IN ITS STRUCTURE AT LEAST TWO WATER-INSOLUBLE CHROMOGENS, AT LEAST TWO REACTIVE RADICALS CAPABLE OF CROSS-LINKING WITH EACH OTHER TO FORM A HIGHER POLYMER AND CAPABLE OF LINKING WITH A FUNCTIONAL RADICAL OF AN ADDED REACTIVE COMPOUND AND OF SAID ARTICLE AND AT LEAST ONE RADICAL SELECTED FROM SOLUBILIZING AND DISPERSING RADICALS, SAID THIRD POLYMER BEING MADE BY THE STEPS OF INTRODUCING A DIAZONIUM RADICAL INTO A WATER-INSOLUBLE CHROMOGEN TO FORM A DIAZONIUM COMPOUND THEREOF, POLYMERIZING AN ADDITION POLYMERIZABLE MONOMER CONTAINING AT LEAST PARTLY A MONOMER HAVING A REACTIVE RADICAL USING SAID DIAZONIUM COMPOUND AS AN INITIATOR FOR SAID POLYMERIZING, REACTING THE POLYMER OBTAINED THROUGH SAID POLYMERIZING WITH A COMPOUND WHICH IS CAPABLE OF INTRODUCING SAID LAST-NAMED POLYMER BY REACTION THEREWITH, A RADICAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF HYDROPHILIC AND HYDROPHOBIC RADICALS, AND A FOURTH REACTIVE CHROMOGEN-BONDED-POLYMER WHICH CONTAINS IN ITS STRUCTURE AT LEAST TWO REACTIVE RADICALS CAPABLE OF CROSS-LINKING WITH EACH OTHER TO FORM A HIGHER POLYMER AND CAPABLE OF LINKING WITH A FUNCTIONAL RADICAL OF AN ADDED REACTIVE COMPOUND AND OF SAID ARTICLE, AND AT LEAST ONE RADICAL SELECTED FROM SOLUBILIZING AND DISPERSING RADICALS, SAID FOURTH POLYMER BEING MADE BY THE STEPS OF INTRODUCING A DIAZONIUM RADICAL INTO A WATERINSOLUBLE CHROMOGEN TO FORM A DIAZONIUM COMPOUND OF SAID CHROMOGEN, POLYMERIZING AN ADDITION-POLYMERIZABLE MONOMER CONTAINING AT LEAST PARTLY A MONOMER HAVING A REACTIVE USING SAID DIAZONIUM COMPOUND AS AN INITIATOR FOR SAID POLYMERIZING, REACTING THE CHROMOGENBONDED-POLYMER RESULTING FROM SAID POLYMERIZING WITH A COMPOUND WHICH IS CAPABLE OF INTRODUCING A RECTIVE RADICAL INTO SAID LAST-NAMED POLYMER BY REACTION THEREWITH, AND REACTING THE POLYMER RESULTING FROM THE REACTION OF SAID CHROMOGEN-BONDED-POLYMER AND SAID LASTNAMED COMPOUND WITH A COMPOUND WHICH IS CAPABLE OF INTRODUCING A RADICAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF HYDROPHILIC AND HYDROPHOBIC RADICALSINTO SAID LASTNAMED POLYMER BY REACTION WITH SAID POLYMER.
