Abstract: The methacrylic ester polymers produced according to this invention are uniquely distinguished from the radically prepared polymers of similar composition by the fact that both polymers produced: by anionic living polymerization and by deactivating the active terminals of anionic living polymers; contain acetal and/or ketal groups as the blocked hydroxyl groups and have narrow molecular weight distribution. Hydroxyl group-containing methacrylic acid ester polymers are produced by hydrolysis of the above-mentioned polymers.
