Radiation-curable acrylates are prepared by a process in which the hydroxy compound is reacted with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid in a first stage and, in a second stage, the reaction product of the first stage is reacted with an epoxide compound in the presence of, as a catalyst, a quaternary ammonium or phosphonium compound of the general formula ##STR1## where X.sup.- is an opposite ion and R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 independently of one another are each C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkyl which may be substituted by one or two phenyl groups or are each C.sub.6 -C.sub.12 -aryl which may be substituted by one or two C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl groups.

Radiation-curable acrylates are prepared by a process in which, in a 1st stage, a hydroxy compound is reacted with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and, in or before a 2nd stage, the reaction product of the 1st stage is then reacted with an epoxy compound and compounds having one or more primary or secondary amino groups are added in the 2nd stage and the reaction in the 2nd stage is continued, after the addition of these compounds, until the acid number of the reaction mixture has decreased by at least 3 mg KOH/g of reaction mixture from the time of the addition of these compounds.

Preparation of copolymers which form clear aqueous solutions

Hydrazine-free vinlypyrrolidone polymers which dissolve in water and organic solvents to give a clear solution are prepared by polymerization using di-tert-butyl peroxide in an aqueous medium.

Preparation of vinylpyrrolidone polymers

Vinylpyrrolidone is removed from its polymers by a process in which an aqueous or alcoholic solution of the polymer is treated with an adsorbent, the adsorbents used preferably being active carbon, zeolites and especially acidic ion exchangers.

Removal of vinylpyrrolidone from vinylpyrrolidone polymers

Polyvinylpyrrolidone having a Fikentscher K value of from 14 to 95 is prepared at from 50.degree. to 95.degree. C. in aqueous solution with hydrogen peroxide as starter, the solution being maintained at pH 7-11 by means of NaOH, KOH, their carbonates or bicarbonates.

Preparation of polyvinylpyrrolidone

A terpolymer of vinylpyrolidone, tert-butyl (meth)acrylate and acrylic or methacrylic acid, its use in hair treatment agents, and hair cosmetics compositions which contain these agents.

Terpolymers, their use in hair treatment agents and hair treatment

Copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, acrylamides which are monoalkylated or dialkylated on the N atom and alkyl or hydroxyalkyl esters of (meth)acrylic acid, with or without (meth)acrylic acid, or (meth)acrylic acid are used as and in hair fixatives.
