The invention relates a polyacrylate-polysilane block copolymer of general structure (I):n nwherein nm and n nindependent of one another, are integers ranging from 2 to 4000; np nis an integer ranging from 0 to 5; nq nis an integer ranging from 1 to 5; nR 1 nrepresents hydrogen, straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; nR 2 nrepresents hydrogen, straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; nR3 nrepresents hydrogen, hydroxyl group, straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an C 6 -C 14 aryl group; nL nis a linking moiety representing amine (-NH-) group, amide (-C(O)NH-) group, urea (-NHC(O)NH-) group, urethane (-OC(O)NH-) group or methylene (-CH 2 -) group; R 4 , R 5 and R 6 independent of one another, represents hydrogen, straight-chain or branched, alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms or polydimethylsiloxane group; and nR 7 nrepresents hydrogen or methyl group. |
