The invention relates to a polymeric composition comprising polymers, said polymers comprising one or more repeat units of structure IV: (see formula IV) wherein R1 is a divalent linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl, a linear, branched, or cyclic alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, alkaryl, or an oligomeric or polymeric moiety; and optionally contains one or more heteroatoms; R2 and R3 are independently hydrogen, a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl, a linear, branched, or cyclic alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, or alkaryl; and optionally contains one or more heteroatoms; R4 is a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl, a linear, branched, or cyclic alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, or alkaryl; and optionally contains one or more heteroatoms; a is 0 or an integer of 1 to 12; and .beta. is an integer of at least 1, each mentioned radicals being the same or different for each occurrence. The invention also concerns a formulation comprising one or more of said polymeric compositions as defined or an article comprising said formulation.
