- n=0, 1, 2, or 3;
- x=CH.sub.2, O when m>1, and
- R.sub.2 is chosen from the list above and may or may not be the same as R.sub.1, except R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 cannot both be H; and
- (b) optionally at least one monomer (B) selected from the group consisting of ##STR16## (c) and optionally at least one monomer (C) of the formula ##STR17## wherein R.sub.3 is H or CH.sub.3 and
- R.sub.4 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.22 alkyl, ##STR18## cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, or cycloheptyl; m=0-12;
- n=0, 1, 2, or 3;
