  • Polymerizable composition
    Patent number: 5086138
    Abstract: A polymerizable composition comprises (a) an ethylenically unsaturated diluent monomer comprising an ethylenically unsaturated fluorine-containing monomer; (b) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing a reactive ester group capable of coupling with an amino group-containing compound by the formation of an amide link; and, (c) a polymerization initiator. A polymer produced from the composition is capable of immobilizing an amino group-containing compound e.g. a protein. Such polymers are suitable for use in a variety of biomedical applications.
