Abstract:
A composition comprising a surface modifying agent of Formula (III):Rfâˆ’&ohgr;Qâ€ƒâ€ƒ(III) where:Rf comprises a carbon-containing group including at least one fluorine atom; &ohgr; is selected from the group consisting of R1âˆ’RHBâˆ’RXL, RHBâˆ’R1âˆ’RXL, RHBâˆ’RXLâˆ’R1, R1âˆ’RXLâˆ’RHB, RXLâˆ’R1âˆ’RHB, RXLâˆ’RHBâˆ’R1, R1âˆ’RHBâˆ’R2âˆ’RXL, RHBâˆ’R1âˆ’RXLâˆ’R2,R1âˆ’RXLâˆ’R2âˆ’RHB,RXLâˆ’R1âˆ’RHBâˆ’R2, and combinations and mixtures thereof, where: R1 and R2 are the same or different and are carbon-containing groups; RHB is a group capable of intermolecular hydrogen bonding comprising a peptide linkage (â€”C(O)N(H)â€”), urethane linkage (â€”Oâ€”C(O)â€”N(H)â€”), urea linkage (â€”N(H)â€”C(O)â€”N(H)â€”) or mixtures or combinations thereof; and RXL is a crosslinkable group selected from the groups consisting of an acetylenic group, a diacetylenic group, polyacetylenic group, an alpha amino acid group, an alpha hydroxy acid group or a dialkoxysilenyl group; Q comprises a group including at least one moiety capable of interacting with or bonding to a surface selected from the group consisting of NR32, OR3, SiR33, Si(OR3)3, PR32, SR3 or C(E1)E2, where: R3 is a hydrogen atom or a carbon containing group, and C(E1)E2 is selected from the group consisting of: C(NR4)R4, C(NR4)NR42, C(NR4)OR4, C(NR4)PR42, C(NR4)SR4; C(O)R4, C(O)NR42, C(O)OR4, C(O)PR42, C(O)SR4; C(PR4)R4, C(PR4)NR42, C(PR4)OR4, C(PR4)PR24, C(PR4)SR4; C(S)R4, C(S)NR42, C(S)OR4, C(S)PR42, and C(S)SR4; and where each R4 is the same or different and is a hydrogen atom or a carbon-containing group.
