Process for preparing copolymers from esters of an unsaturated carboxylic acid with at least one other unsaturated monomer, characterized in that the following components are copolymerized in radical substance polymerization: (A) 5 to 60 parts by weight of at least one diester of an alpha , beta -olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid having 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the ester group, (B) 10 to 70 parts by weight of at least one vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon having one vinyl group, (C) 0 to 30 parts by weight of at least one glycidyl ester of an aliphatic saturated monocarboxylic acid branched in the alpha -position, (D) 0 to 50 parts by weight of at least one ester, amide and/or anhydride of an alpha , beta -olefinically unsaturated mono- and/or dicarboxylic acid, (E) 0 to 40 parts by weight of at least one alpha , beta -olefinically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, the sum of components (A) to (E) being 100 parts by weight, whilst at least a part of component (A) is at first introduced into the reaction vessel alone or in combination with at least a part of component (C) and a mixture of component (B) with at least one of components (D) and (E) and any remaining parts of components (A) and/or (C) is added in batches at 140 DEG to 200 DEG C. together with a radical initiator, alone or in conjunction with a regulator, and if component (C) is present, at least an equimolar quantity of component (E) is used; and the use of the products thus obtained as binders for the preparation of coating compositions. |
