Abstract: Initiators for atom transfer radical polymerizations are described. The initiators have an azlactone or ring-opened azlactone moiety to provide telechelic(co)polymers.

Abstract: Hydrophilic compositions are described, which are prepared from a first oligomer containing pendent polymerizable groups and pendent hydrophilic groups, crosslinked with a co-reactive second component oligomer possessing photoinitiator groups. The compositions may be used as in preparation of hydrophilic gel coatings or layers for medical devices.

Abstract: The present invention provides crosslinkable compositions useful in the preparation of hydrophilic gels, and are prepared from oligomers having pendent hydrophilic, poly(alkylene oxide) groups, pendent photoinitiator groups, and optionally polymerizable functional groups, and crosslinked by polyfunctional poly(alkylene oxides).

Abstract: Hydrophilic compositions are described, which are prepared from a first component oligomer containing pendent hydrophilic groups and pendent reactive functional groups capable of reaction at effective rates (at normal processing temperatures), with a co-reactive second component possessing functionality that is complementary to that of the first oligomer. The compositions may be used as in preparation of hydrophilic gel coatings or layers for medical devices.
