Abstract

Amphiphilic monomers with mixed-chain structures of the formula ##STR1## in which Y denotes --O-- or --NH-- PA1 X denotes a group of the formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.n -- or --(CH.sub.2 --O--CH.sub.2).sub.n -- PA1 l denotes an integer from 0 to 10, PA1 n denotes an integer from 1 to 10, PA1 R.sup.1 denotes hydrogen, methyl, chlorine, cyano, fluorine or bromine, PA1 R.sup.2 denotes C.sub.1 -C.sub.24 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.24 -fluoroalkyl and PA1 R.sup.3 denotes C.sub.8 -C.sub.24 -alkyl or C.sub.8 -C.sub.24 -fluoralkyl, with the proviso that the groups R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 contain a different number of carbon atoms. The monomers are polymerized on their own or together with other comonomers. The polymers obtained are suitable for the preparation of ultra-thin layers on a suitable layer support.
