Patent ID: 8357540

Claim:
A method of connecting an amino-containing material to a polymeric material, the method comprising: providing a polymeric material that is polymerized product of a reaction mixture comprising a plurality of monomers consisting essentially of (a) an amine capture monomer of Formula IIb wherein Q is a carbonyloxy or carbonylimino; Y is a divalent group comprising an alkylene, heteroalkylene, arylene, or combination thereof and optionally further comprising a carbonyl, carbonyloxy, carbonylimino, oxy, —NR 3 —, or combination thereof; R 1 is hydrogen, fluoro, alkyl, or lower fluoroalkyl; R 2 is a lower fluoroalkyl; R 3 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, or aralkyl; R 4 is hydrogen or alkyl; and (b) a co-monomer that is (i) an alkyl (meth)acrylate, (ii) a crosslinking monomer having at least two (meth)acryloyl groups, or (iii) a combination thereof; and reacting (1) a primary or secondary amino-containing material and (2) a fluoroalkoxycarbonyl group of the polymeric material resulting in connection of the amino-containing material to the polymeric material.
