The present invention pertains to polyisobutylene urethane, urea and
urethane/urea copolymers, to methods of making such copolymers and to
medical devices that contain such polymers. According to certain aspects
of the invention, polyisobutylene urethane, urea and urethane/urea
copolymers are provided, which comprise a polyisobutylene segment, an
additional polymeric segment that is not a polyisobutylene segment, and a
segment comprising a residue of a diisocyanate. According to other
aspects of the invention, polyisobutylene urethane, urea and
urethane/urea copolymers are provided, which comprise a polyisobutylene
segment and end groups that comprise alkyl-, alkenyl- or
alkynyl-chain-containing end groups.
