It discloses polymers with chelating functionality and comprising units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated aminocarboxylate monomer comprising units derived from triacetic ethylenediamine acid or its salt and a polymerizable vinyl monomer. The polymerizable vinyl monomer can be selected from (o-, m-, p-) DVBMO, allyl glycidyl ether and (meth) glycidyl acrylate. The polymer may further comprise units derived from one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers. |
