The bond Ro between the entity Po and the entity A is obtained by means of “click chemistry” and corresponds to formula (II.1) or (II.2), Z representing —CH— or —N—. A is an entity selected from the group comprising the various polyols of Po, polyorganosiloxanes (POS), polyalkylene glycols, polyamides, polyesters, polystyrenes, alkyls, alkenyls, alkynyls, aryls, and combinations thereof, in addition to mineral materials such as silica and the combinations thereof.
