LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT (METH) ACRYLIC POLYMERS FREE OF SULPHUR-CONTAINING, METALLIC AND HALOGENATED COMPOUNDS AND WITH A LOW DEGREE OF RESIDUAL MONOMERS, PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The subject matter of the invention is (meth)acrylic polymers comprising a linear or branched C8, or more, fatty chain that may comprise at least one ethylenic unsaturation, which have a weight-average molecular mass (formula I) of less than 20 000 g/mol, which are free of sulphur-containing, metallic and halogenated compounds and the degree of residual monomers of which, measured by GPC, is less than or equal to 10% by mass, preferably less than or equal to 7% by mass. The subject matter of the invention is also the process for synthesizing said polymers and the use of said polymers.
