Polymers based on ethylenically unsaturated monomers contain at least 0.1% by weight of monomer units comprising specific ethylenically unsaturated, fluorine-containing and polymerization-capable or copolymerization-capable urethane derivatives (see formula I). The process for the preparation of the polymers or copolymers from the monomers from which they are built up by free-radical initiated polymerization or copolymerization, preferably by a method of emulsion polymerization. The use of the polymers as a starting material for the production of films, sheets, fibers, adhesives, paints, compression-molding compositions and moldings, as a thickener in aqueous preparations, as an impregnant, binder or coating agent for various industrial or chemotechnological areas of application. |
