Patent ID: 8466234

Claim:
A crosslinkable and/or polymerizable block copolymer composition comprising at least one composition according to the following Formula: R—(Y) a -(Hi) x -(Ho) y -(Hi) z -(Y) b —R (I) where (Hi) represents a hydrophilic polymer segment and (Ho) represents a hydrophobic polymer segment; where x, y and z represent the number of repeating units in each hydrophilic (Hi) and/or hydrophobic (Ho) polymer segment, with each of x, y and z being independently selected from an integer in the range of about 2 to about 5,000; where each Y is independently selected from acrylate, methacrylate, an alkyl acrylate group having between 3 and about 15 carbon atoms, or an allyl group having between 3 and about 15 carbon atoms with the proviso that Y is different from Hi; where a and b represent the number of Y units in Formula (I), with each of a and b being independently selected from an integer in the range of 1 to about 12; and where each R is independently selected from linear C 1 to C 10 alkyl groups, substituted linear C 1 to C 10 alkyl groups, branched C 3 to C 10 alkyl groups, or substituted branched C 3 to C 10 alkyl groups, where the one or more substituents on any substituted group are selected from HS—, S, —CN, O, N, —NH 3 , —C 6 H 5 , P, —OH, —S(CS)S—, —S(CS)O—, —S(CS)N, or a halogen.
