Abstract
A polymer composite includes a functionalized polyisobutylene and an additional polyisobutylene-containing material. The functionalized polyisobutylene includes an α-lipoic acid functional group. A method for producing the polymer composite includes providing the additional polyisobutylene-containing material as a substrate having a surface, and coating the surface of the substrate with the functionalized polyisobutylene. A method for producing a coated substrate including the polymer composite includes providing a polymer combination including the functionalized polyisobutylene and the additional polyisobutylene-containing material, and depositing the polymer combination on to a substrate to thereby form the coated substrate.
