Polymer for antifouling coatings which comprises units corresponding to the following monomers: A) 5 to 100 mol.% of one or more compounds of general formula (I) in which R = H or CH3; X = O or S; R?1 = Ph(R2)¿m, -C(H)3-(p+q)(CO-R3)p(COOR3)q, -(CH2)s-(CO)t-COOR3 or optionally substituted thiadiazolyl and thiazolylsulfamyl groups; Ph = phenyl; m = 1-3; p = 0-3; q = 0-3; p+q = 1-3; s = 0 or 1; t = 0 or 1; R2 = each independently selected from halogen, -C(O)H, -COOR3, -CH2-COOR?3, -O-R3¿, -NH-COOR3, -NH-CO-R3 and -NH¿2; R?3 = H or optionally halogen substituted alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl groups with 1-10 C atoms; and B) 0 to 95 mol.% of one or more other ethylenically unsaturated compound. Processes for preparing the polymers defined above, paints containing said polymers, and the use of monomers of the above formula (I) for preparing polymers for antifouling coatings. |
