Abstract: A functional polymer including at least two different types of side chains, having the general formula (1), wherein A is an at least monosubstituted alkylene or arylene group; B is an amide, ester or ether group and n is 0 or 1; F is selected from: an ester, secondary amine, amide, ether, thio ether, thio ester, and may be the same or different for the different side chains; D is a side chain intended to reversible bind to a substrate or has a coating function; E is a side chain intended to irreversible bind to a substrate, the side chain E and polymer includes 1 to 10 different side chains D and 1 to 10 different side chains E, but at least one of each, and includes a plurality of each type, whereby the different types of side chains are randomly or regularly distributed in the polymer.

Abstract: A lubricating coating including at least one polymer A, a cross-linker and at least one lubricating agent, and wherein a portion of the at least two reactive groups of the cross-linker are covalently linked to the polymer A to form a three-dimensional network in which the lubricant is incorporated, and wherein at the same time another portion of the reactive groups of the cross-linker are covalently linked to the surface of the device or to the optional adhesion layer on the surface of the device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel ultra-thin hydrophobic and oleophobic layer, formed by self-assembly on a solid substrate surface, of compounds of the general formula A-B in which A represents a group of the formula in which Z represents C or N+, X represents C—H or C-L, L being an electron-attracting group selected from F, Cl, Br, I, CF3, NO2 and N(CH3)3+, Y represents H or CH3, or Y forms a 5- or 6-atom heterocycle with X, T represents NH, CO, CONH or NH2+U?, U? being a soluble anion, and B represents an unsubstituted C1-C20 linear aliphatic alkyl group, or a C1-C20 linear aliphatic alkyl group partially or completely substituted with F, and a method of preparing this layer and its use as an epilame or barrier film.
