Abstract
A topcoat having a polyfunctional scaffold in the form of a hyperbranched polymer (HBP) with a buoy group coupled to the HBP. The HBP can also have a 'delivered' group and/or an anchor group coupled thereto. The buoy group can be a fluorinated chain end, one or more fluorinated and aliphatic chain ends and/or one or more wholly aliphatic chain ends. The 'delivered' group can contain at least one of an ionic species, a fluorescent tag, a bioreactive site, a catalyst and the like, and the anchor group an epoxy, a (meth)acrylate or an isocyanate. The water-disbursable topcoat can also include a solubilizing group such as 2-butanone or 4-methyl-2-pentanone coupled to the HBP.
