An aqueous dispersion containing at least one copolymer, the copolymer being preparable by initially charging an aqueous dispersion of at least one polyurethane, and then polymerizing a mixture of olefinically unsaturated monomers in the presence of the polyurethane, where a water-soluble initiator is used, the metered addition of the olefinically unsaturated monomers is effected in such a way that a concentration of 6.0% by weight, based on the total amount of olefinically unsaturated monomers, in the reaction solution is not exceeded over the entire duration of the reaction, and the mixture of the olefinically unsaturated monomers contains at least one polyolefinically unsaturated monomer.

The present invention discloses thiourea-containing dendrimers and thiourea-containing hyperbranched polymers, and respectively a preparation method for the thiourea-containing dendrimer and a preparation method for the thiourea-containing hyperbranched polymer, and a thiourea-containing dendrimer and a thiourea-containing hyperbranched polymer having increased water solubility prepared by using the thiourea-containing dendrimer and the thiourea-containing hyperbranched polymer as raw materials. Finally, disclosed are applications of the thiourea-containing dendrimers and the thiourea-containing hyperbranched polymers in the preparation of antitumor and antimicrobial drugs. The thiourea-containing dendrimer and the thiourea-containing hyperbranched polymer have a significant growth inhibitive effect on solid tumors and low toxicity to normal tissues, and thus can be used for preparing drugs for treating malignant tumors. The thiourea-containing dendrimer and the thiourea-containing hyperbranched polymer also have a good antimicrobial effect on various bacterial strains and thus can be used for preparing antiviral or antibacterial drugs.
