Monodisperse Polymers Containing (Alkyl)Acrylic Acid Moieties, Precursors and Methods for Making them and their Applications

摘要

This invention relates to monodisperse or nearly monodisperse (co)polymers containing acrylic or (α-substituted)acrylic acid moieties, polymeric precursors thereof as well as methods for making them by at least partial hydrolysis of said polymeric precursors. The invention also relates to compositions comprising such (co)polymers optionally in combination with polymer processing additives for use in various fields of technology including imaging applications.
