Method of producing copolymers by free-radical polymerization of at least one water-soluble N-vinyllactam and at least one hydrophobic comonomer in an organic solvent in the presence of an initiator, where the polymerization is carried out under a gauge pressure such that evaporation of the components is avoided.

Method of producing water-soluble nonturbid copolymers of at least one water-soluble N-vinyllactam and at least one hydrophobic comonomer by polymerization under increased pressure

Methods of producing vinyllactam copolymers which include: providing at least one water-soluble N-vinyllactam; providing at least one hydrophobic comonomer; and subjecting the at least one water-soluble N-vinyllactam and the at least one hydrophobic comonomer to free-radical polymerization in an organic solvent in the presence of an initiator, under a combination of process measures selected from the group consisting of A and B; wherein:
