Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a new phosphorus-containing polymer, polyvinylmethylphosphinic acid. It is prepared by polymerization, preferably catalytic, of vinylmethylphosphinic acid or a salt thereof. The new polymer possesses valuable properties and is used, in particular, in the production of offset printing plates which have a light-sensitive layer.
