Abstract:
1. A biocompatible polymer comprising hydrophobic monomers and hydrophilic monomers; wherein the biocompatible polymer has a backbone structure comprising at least a tertiary carbon grouping; and wherein the biocompatible polymer is of the structure of formula II, or III: wherein wherein m, n, and p are independently positive integers ranging from 1 to 100,000; wherein if the biocompatible polymer is of the structure of Formula II, hydrophobic monomer 1 is a methacrylate or fluorinated methacrylate, and hydrophobic monomer 2 is a methacrylate or fluorinated methacrylate, and hydrophobic monomer 1 and hydrophobic monomer 2 are different; and wherein if the biocompatible polymer is of the structure of Formula III, the hydrophobic monomer is a methacrylate or fluorinated methacrylate, and hydrophilic monomer 1 and hydrophilic monomer 2 are different.
