Clickable waterborne polymers, click crosslinking of waterborne polymers, click crosslinked waterborne polymers, clickable functional compounds, and click functionalized waterborne polymers are presented. For example, the waterborne polymers have pendant groups bearing alkyne and/or azide groups and alkyne. For example, the functionalized azide-containing functional compounds such as antimicrobial or infrared-refractive compounds. The click crosslinking of clickable waterborne polymers or polymer mixtures, and the click conjugation of clickable waterborne polymers with clickable functional compounds such as clickable antimicrobial or infrared-refractive compounds, which resulted in functional waterborne polymers with antimicrobial or infrared-refractive functions, are presented. The presented polymers, including clickable waterborne polymers, click-crosslinked waterborne polymers, and functional waterborne polymers with, for example, antimicrobial or infrared-refractive functions, can be used in applications such as coating and adhesive compositions. The aqueous suspensions of waterborne polymers can also be used directly as drug delivery systems, or can be crosslinked into hydrogels or composites for biomedical applications such as drug/cell delivery, tissue engineering, and other medical device.

Method for obtaining biodegradable polyesteretheramide that has a stage of esterification and/or transesterification and amidation reaction, a stage of prepolycondensation, a stage of polycondensation, an optional stage of extraction, a stage of drying and a final stage of extrusion with additives. The method of obtaining PEEA enables better satisfaction of the needs of each client as regards viscosity, composition and additives. It enables reducing the amount of interface product that has lower commercial value and improves the colour of the product, while at the same time provides a more efficient process, ecologically cleaner and safer for all the operatives.

Underlayer coating compositions are provided that comprise 1) a resin; and a solvent component comprising one or more solvents having a boiling of 200° C. or greater. Coating compositions are particularly useful with overcoated photoresist compositions imaged with EUV.

The present disclosure provides a pour point dispersant composition comprising an alkoxylated alkyl amine polyester.
