Patent ID: 8501890

Claim:
A polymer comprising at least one residue of a molecule having a molecular structure depicted by Formula II: wherein: R and R 1 are independently selected from C 1 -C 12 -alkyl, substituted C 1 -C 12 -alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkyl, C 3 -C 8 -alkenyl, —(CHR′CHR″O—) n —R 4 , C 1 -C 6 -alkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, C 1 -C 12 -acyl, substituted-C 1 -C 12 -acyl, -L-Q and -Q; or R and R 1 are combined to make phthalimido, succinimido, morpholino, thiomorpholino, pyrrolidino, piperidino, piperazino, or thiomorpholino-S,S-dioxide; R 2 is selected from hydrogen or one or two groups selected from C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy and halogen; X 1 and X 2 are independently selected from cyano, —CO 2 C 1 -C 6 -alkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, carbamoyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkanoyl, aroyl, aryl, heteroaryl and —COY; R′ and R″ are independently selected from hydrogen and C 1 -C 12 -alkyl; R 4 is selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 12 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkanoyl and aryl; Y is selected from —O-L-Q, —NR′-L-Q, —N-(L-Q) 2 , and —R 5 ; L is a divalent organic radical selected from C 1 -C 6 -alkylene-O—, C 1 -C 6 -alkylene-NR′—; arylene-C 1 -C 6 -alkylene-O—, arylene-C 1 -C 6 -alkylene-NR′—, arylene-O(CHR′CHR″O) n —, C 1 -C 6 -alkylene-Y 1 —(CHR′CHR″O—) n —, and —(CHR′CHR″O—) n —; Y 1 is selected from —O—, —S—, —SO 2 —, —N(SO 2 R 5 )—, and —N(COR 5 )—; n is an integer between from 1 to about 1000; R 5 is C 1 -C 12 -alkyl, substituted C 1 -C 12 -alkyl, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkyl or aryl; Q is a group that comprises an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable group; the molecule, before copolymerization, comprises at least one Q group; and the residue comprises a reaction product of saturation of the Q group.
