Coatings are formed by applying to article a copolymer of a water soluble base polymer having graft polymerized thereto an organic moiety that includes a group that reacts with water to form a silanol group, and then curing the copolymer to form a crosslinked hydrogel coating that is absorbent, lubricious and substantially non-water soluble. Coating compositions, coated articles the subject coatings are also described. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference now will be made in detail to the embodiments of the invention, one or more examples of which are set forth below.
Each example is provided by way of explanation of the invention, not limitation of the invention.
In fact, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
For instance, features illustrated or described as part of one embodiment, can be used on another embodiment to yield a still further embodiment.
Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover such modifications and variations as come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
Other objects, features and aspects of the present invention are disclosed in or are obvious from the following detailed description.
It is to be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the present discussion is a description of exemplary embodiments only, and is not intended as limiting the broader aspects of the present invention.
In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that an absorbent, lubricious, substantially non-water soluble coating can be placed on various articles by contacting the article with a solution of a copolymer comprising a water soluble base polymer having graft polymerized thereto an organic moiety that includes a group that reacts with water to form a silanol group, and then curing the copolymer to form a coating on the article that comprises the crosslinked copolymer.
Coating solutions that include the copolymer and articles that have been coated with the novel coating are also included in the scope of the invention, as is the actual coating itself.
An important property of the coating is that it can be applied to almost any article without the use of dangerous ionizing radiation, or the exposure of the article to conditions of biologically irritating high or low pH values
