- W, W′ independently═O(CH2)d, NH(CH2)d, NCH3(CH2)d, O(CH2)dC6H4, O(CH2CH2O)dCH2, O(CH2CH2CH2O)dCH2, O(CH2CH2CH2CH2O)dCH2, or nothing;
- J=(CH2)a, O(CH2CH2O)b, O, or nothing, provided that if W and W′=nothing, then J≠nothing;
- d=0-12;
- a=1-12;
- and
- b=1-24;
- and
- c) 1 to 8% (w/w) of a macromer of formula [3]:
