Abstract

Carboxyl-containing isobutene copolymers are obtainable PA0 a) by cationic polymerization of a mixture of from 1 to 99 mol % of isobutene and from 99 to 1 mol % of a 2-methylalk-1-ene at less than 20.degree. C. in the presence of a halogen-containing Lewis acid and PA0 b) subsequent grafting of the isobutene copolymer obtainable in this manner with an .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid derivative at above 100.degree. C. and in the presence of a free radical initiator. Such carboxyl-containing isobutene copolymers are particularly suitable as adhesive raw materials or as sealing compounds.
