Abstract
An example of a bottlebrush polymer has a polymer backbone and a plurality of individual brush moieties bonded to the polymer backbone. The individual brush moieties respectively include a crosslinked oxyamine moiety, a hydrophilic segment, and a surface adhesive terminal group.
Claims16
A composition comprising a bottlebrush polymer having an olefin polymer backbone and a plurality of individual brush moieties bonded to the polymer backbone, the individual brush moieties respectively including an oxime functional group with at least some of the brush moieties being covalently crosslinked via their respective oxime functional groups, a hydrophilic segment, and a surface adhesive terminal group.
A method comprising:
- synthesizing a bottlebrush polymer having an olefin polymer backbone and a plurality of individual brush moieties bonded to the polymer backbone, the individual brush moieties respectively including a ketone, a hydrophilic segment, and a surface adhesive terminal group;
- replacing the ketone with an oxime group having a terminal azide group;
- and
- crosslinking terminal azide groups of brush moieties using an alkyne crosslinker compound to form a crosslinked polymer.
