Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer contains (a) hard segments of a polyester and (b) soft segments containing repeating units derived from an aliphatic carbonate, wherein the thermoplastic elastomer exhibits a melt flow index (MFI) measured at 230° C. under a load of 10 kg (MFI 230° C./10 kg) according to ISO1133 (2011) of at most 40 g/10 min. The thermoplastic elastomer is produced by subjecting a precursor of the thermoplastic elastomer to solid state post reaction processing at a temperature between 140 and 170° C. until the thermoplastic elastomer has the required MFI of at most 40 g/10 min measured at 230° C. under a load of 10 kg (MFI 230° C./10 kg) according to ISO1133 (2011).

Abstract: Disclosed are anti-fouling and optionally specific binding surfaces, methods for forming anti-fouling and optionally specific binding surfaces, and molecules that may be useful for forming anti-fouling and optionally specific binding surfaces. The surfaces may be formed by employing a molecule comprising a poly(2-oxazoline) having functional groups. In an embodiment, the poly(2-oxazoline) comprises a carboxyl endgroup, an amine endgroup, an N-hydroxysuccinimide endgroup, an oxirane endgroup, an oxetane endgroup, or an isocyanate endgroup, which may enable attachment of a specific binding moiety to the poly(2-oxazoline). In an embodiment, the poly(2-oxazoline) molecule comprises a (meth)acrylate functionality that may allow for attachment to a surface comprising a moiety capable of nucleophilic conjugate addition.
