An article having a dendritic material bonded to a substrate and a method of making the article are provided. The method comprises providing an azlactone-functional substrate, an azlactone group on the substrate, and a polynucleophilic group selected from a hydroxyl group, a primary amino group, and / or a secondary amino group. Reacting with a first nucleophilic compound to form a substrate-bound nucleophilic compound having at least one nucleophilic end group; and nucleophilicity of said substrate-bound nucleophilic compound A first dendritic structure having an azlactone end group by reacting a functional end group with a first azlactone compound having a multi-azlactone group, the method comprising: A method in which one nucleophilic compound has at least three nucleophilic groups, the first azlactone compound has at least three azlactone groups, or a combination thereof.
