Abstract

The invention relates to copolymers containing carboxyl groups and having a thickener action and also containing, inter alia, units (a) and/or (b) and/or (c) derived from monoethylenically unsaturated monomers of the formula (I) ##STR1## and/or from polyunsaturated monomers of the formula (II) ##STR2## and/or from urethane group-containing monomers of the formula (III) ##STR3## where only one of the two radicals R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 in the formula (I) is ethylenically unsaturated, while both radicals R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 in the formula (II) are ethylenically unsaturated.
