Obtaining aqueous solutions of homo- and/or copolymers of ethylenically unsaturated monomers comprises using compounds containing a phosphorus atom with a degree of oxidation 5, in quantity of 0.005-0.49 mol. per mol. unsaturation, for polymerisation in presence of hydrogen peroxide and absence of all free radical decomposition agents and free radical generators. Also claimed are polymers obtained by the above process and various uses of these polymers. |
