Claim:
1. A polymer comprising a polymer chain having at least one fused aromatic imide pendant group, wherein the polymer is represented by formula (1): wherein each variable is independently R a is 1 or 2, or 1; W is oxygen, sulphur, >NH, or >NG; R′ is independently —H, or an optionally-substituted alkyl, and the substituents is hydroxyl or halo, or mixtures thereof; R R Pol is a homopolymer chain of ethylene oxide or a copolymer chain of ethylene oxide, wherein the ethylene oxide constitutes 40 wt % to 99.99 wt % of the copolymer chain and where in the polymer chain is selected from the group consisting a poly(ether), poly(ester) and mixtures thereof; u=1 to 3; v=1 to 2; w=1 to 3 v=2 when W=>NG; v=1 when W=Oxygen, Sulphur, or >NG; G is a hydrocarbyl group containing 1 to 200 carbon atoms; and Q is a fused aromatic ring containing 4n+2 π-electrons, wherein n=2, and Q is bonded to the imide group in such a way to form a 5 or 6 membered imide ring.
