Functional bottlebrush polymers
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 including a ketone, a hydrophilic segment, and a surface adhesive terminal group. The brush moieties can be functionalized and/or cross-linked.
1. A composition comprising a bottlebrush polymer having a polymer backbone and a plurality of individual brush moieties bonded to the polymer backbone, the individual brush moieties respectively including an oxime group, a hydrophilic segment, and a surface adhesive terminal group, wherein the polymer backbone comprises a polyolefin, the hydrophilic segment comprises a polyethylene glycol, and the surface adhesive terminal group comprises a catechol.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the oxime group is closer to the polymer backbone than the hydrophilic segment is to the polymer backbone.
