It was presented the data on the thicknesses of the adsorbed polymer layer, which were obtained for copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) pigment dispersions under ultrasonic processing conditions. The thicker adsorption layers, which are observed in ultrasound systems, confirm the fact that the activation of the surface of the pigment occurs under the action of ultrasonic energy. The course and efficiency of adsorption of the polymer onto the pigment surface were quantified by electrokinetic measurements of the amplitude of sound (EIAZ). It became possible to obtain a more detailed picture of the pigment-polymer interactions and the adsorption mechanism of the copolymer based on the data on the dynamic mobility, obtained as a result of electrokinetic measurements of the amplitude of the sound. For aqueous dispersions of CuPc, stabilized with a copolymer of poly (acrylic acid) -poly (isobornyl acrylate) (PiBA-PAA), it was established the saturation concentrations of polymeric surfactant. Thus, the ultrasonic treatment allows to obtain stable, highly dispersed pigment suspensions with a modified pigment surface, which opens up new prospects for a more effective change in the surface of the pigment.
