1. A composition comprising a polymer chosen from a homopolymer, a copolymer, or combinations thereof, and at least one additional polymer;
the homopolymer having an average molecular weight above about 800 Da and comprising a repeat unit of Formula (I): wherein, R2, R4, and R5 are independently chosen from hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, and substituted hydrocarbyl; R6 is chosen from hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, and substituted hydrocarbyl; R7 is optionally present, when present it is chosen from hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, and substituted hydrocarbyl; Z is chosen from sulfur, sulfone, sulfoxide, and selenium; and n is an integer≧1; the copolymer having an average molecular weight above about 800 Da and comprising a first repeat unit and a second repeat unit, the first repeat unit comprising Formula (I) wherein the variables are set out as above. |
