| abstract |
The invention relates a polyacrylate-polysilane block copolymer of general structure (I): wherein m and n independent of one another, are integers ranging from 2 to 4000; p is an integer ranging from 0 to 5; q is an integer ranging from 1 to 5; R 1 represents hydrogen, straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R 2 represents hydrogen, straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; R3 represents hydrogen, hydroxyl group, straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an C 6 -C 14 aryl group; L is 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 R 7 represents hydrogen or methyl group. |
