SOLVENT-FREE SYNTHESIS OF AMPHIPHILIC POLYMERIC MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention concerns an amphiphilic polymeric material which comprises a straight or branched chain carbon-carbon backbone and a multiplicity of side chains attached to the backbone, wherein the side chains have formula (I). At least one of R1 and R2 is the group —C(O)Q; wherein Q comprises a hydrophilic polymeric group terminated with an amine. Chewing gum bases and chewing gum compositions comprising the amphiphilic polymeric material are provided.
