A dual functional monomer having the Formula: <CHEM> wherein R<a> is selected from the group consisting of H, C1 to C10 alkyl or allyl groups, C5 to C10 aryl group, metal ions, heteroatoms and combinations of carbon and heteroatoms; R<b> is absent or selected from the group consisting of O, C(R<a>)2, heteroatoms, or substituted heteroatoms; R<c> is an aliphatic, branched or cyclic alkyl group or an arylalkyl group that contains 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, and can contain heteroatoms; and Y is selected from the group consisting of: <CHEM> wherein each R<d> is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1 to C4 alkyl groups, C5 to C10 aryl groups and electron withdrawing groups. |
