A composite including a plurality of block copolymer chains dispersed in a base polymer, the block copolymer chains including a polymer block (A) and a polymer block (B) having lower affinity for the base polymer than that of the polymer block (A), wherein each of the block copolymer chains has the polymer block (A) at two or more locations of the block copolymer chain, and in at least some of the block copolymer chains, the polymer blocks (A) are at least partially located in the base polymer and the polymer blocks (B) are at least partially exposed from the base polymer.

An example of a bottlebrush polymer has a polymer backbone and a plurality of individual brush moieties bonded to the polymer backbone. The individual brush moieties include a ketone, a hydrophilic segment, and a surface adhesive terminal group. The brush moieties can be functionalized and/or cross-linked.

An aqueous coating composition is provided that is useful in coating a variety of substrates, including interior or exterior portions of food or beverage cans. The coating composition includes a resin system that includes a multi-stage latex. In some embodiments, the multi-stage latex is formed using a process that includes emulsion polymerizing two or more stages in the presence of an aqueous dispersion including a water-dispersible polymer. In certain preferred embodiments, the water-dispersible polymer is a polyether polymer.
