Abstract:
1. A copolymer comprising free-radically polymerized units of a) from 0.1 to 40% by weight of one or more (meth)acrylates of the formula (I) wherein R is hydrogen or methyl and R b) from 35 to 99.99% by weight of one or more ethylenically unsaturated ester compounds of the formula (II) wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, R c) from 0 to 40% by weight of one or more comonomers, and d) from 0.01 to 20% by weight of a compound selected from the group consisting of omega-olefin carboxylic acids, e) from 0 to 20% by weight of one or more compounds of the formula (IV) wherein R and R a C(O)OR or R where the compound e) is present only in the backbone of the polymer formed, and, if present, the compound e) of the formula (IV) is present only in the backbone of the polymer formed, and the % by weight of the above components is based on the total weight of the monomers used.
