Abstract:
A copolymer, and a method for preparing a monomer used to form the copolymer are provided. The copolymer is a reaction product of a first monomer and a second monomer. In particular, the first monomer has a structure represented by Formula (I), and the second monomer has a structure represented by Formula (II), Formula (III), or Formula (IV) wherein Y is —NH2, or —CO2H; m is a positive integer from 2 to 10; X is independently —NH2, or —OH; A is CH2n, n is a positive integer from 2 to 10; and, l is a positive integer from 1 to 5.
