    Abstract: Polymer compositions are obtained by preparing prepolymers (A) with a mixture of: (a) 60-999.999 wt. % styrene derivative; (b) 0-40 wt.% monounsaturated comonomer(s); (c) 0-20 wt.% hydroxylated (meth)acrylic derivative(s); and (d) 0.001-20 wt.% cross-linking monomer with 2 or more functional groups undergoing free radical polymerization; then poly condensing a mixture of ( alpha ) 5-95 wt.% prepolymer (A), ( beta ) 0-95 wt.% polyol, polyester and/or polyamide and ( psi ) 5-95 wt.% aliphatic and/or aromatic di- or polycarboxylic acid(s), 1-20 C hydrocarbyl ester(s) and/or anhydride(s). Monomer (a) comprises styrene (derivative) of formula (I): R1, R2, R3 = hydrogen (H), methyl (Me) or ethyl (Et); n = 1 or 2. Comonomers (b) are selected from 1-12 carbon (C) alkyl (meth)acrylates, (meth)acrylonitrile, (meth)acrylamide, optionally N-mono- or disubstituted by 1-4 C alkyl, maleic anhydride or maleamide, optionally N-substituted by 1-4 C alkyl. If no monomer (c) is used, hydroxyl (OH) groups are incorporated in prepolymer (A) using a regulator containing OH groups. An Independent claim is also included for the preparation of the composition in this way.
