摘要:
The invention provides compounds having the general structure:wherein R and R′ are independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-24 alkyl, aryl, C1-24 alkylaryl, aryl(C1-24)alkyl, —C(═O)—R1 (esters), C(═O)—NHR1 (urethanes), or C(═O)—O—R1 (carbonates) wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of C1-24 alkyl, aryl, C1-24 alkylaryl, C1-24 arylalkyl; A is an organic moiety derived from the group consisting of alkylene oxides having 4-12 carbon atoms and aryl epoxides having 8-12 carbon atoms; x=1-300; y=0-200; z=0-200; and with the proviso that R and R′ can not be H or ether functionality at the same time. The compounds are useful for improving the water transport characteristics of hydrophobic surfaces.
