Abstract

A light-sensitive recording material which provides polymer images and contains, on a base, a layer of a photocrosslinkable polymer with an average molecular weight of 10.sup.3 to 10.sup.6, the copolymer having been prepared from (1) a (meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylamide or vinyl ether derivative which contains at least one maleimide group of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the carbon atoms to which they are bonded form a 5-membered or 6-membered carbocyclic ring, (2) an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer containing acid groups, this comonomer being present in an amount of at least 18 percent by weight, based on the total amount of the comonomers, and, optionally, (3) at least one further ethylenically unsaturated comonomer which differs from the comonomers (1) and (2).
