摘要: Zwitterionic polymers such as poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (polySBMA) and poly(carboxybetaine (polyCBMA) have demonstrated impressive fouling-resistance against proteins mammalian cells. In this paper, the effects of these surface chemistries on settlement behavior an ubiquitous fouling organism, cypris larva barnacle Balanus amphitrite (=Amphibalanus amphitrite), were studied in laboratory. Conventional assays behavioral analysis cyprids using Noldus Ethovision 3.1 significant differences different surfaces. Cyprids did not settle polySBMA or polyCBMA surfaces over course assay, whereas glass occurred within expected limits. Individual components cyprid shown to differ significantly between glass, polyCBMA. also responded differently two zwitterionic On polySBMA, unwilling unable settle, wherea...
