Patent ID: 7585919

Claim:
A curable composition comprising: a) a polymer having pendent surface substrate-reactive functional groups derived from ethylenically unsaturated monomer units having pendent long-chain aliphatic groups; ethylenically unsaturated monomer units having pendent poly(oxyalkylene) groups; and ethylenically unsaturated monomer units having pendent surface substrate-reactive functional groups selected from monophosphate, phosphonate, phosphonic acid, hydroxamic acid, isonitrile, silyl, amine, pyridinyl, or disulfide groups; and b) a crosslinking agent of the formula R 8 (Z) m where R 8 comprises a non-polymeric aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or alkyl-substituted aromatic moiety having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms that has a valence of m, where m is at least 2, and Z is a reactive functional group that is co-reactive with the surface substrate-reactive functional group of the polymer.
