  • SILICONE CO-POLYMERS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF TO MODIFY THE SURFACE OF SILICONE ELASTOMERS BY PHYSICAL ADSORPTION
    Publication number: 20160130403
    Abstract: The present application relates to polymers of Formula (I) and (II) which, when combined with a silicone elastomer or a silicone pre-elastomer, modifies the surface properties of the elastomer, for example by making the elastomer surface more hydrophilic or reactive to other compounds resulting in the functionalization of the elastomer surface. Methods of using the polymers and silicone elastomers coated with the polymers are also included in the application.
