摘要: Three different zwitterionic polymer brush coatings for marine biofouling control were prepared bysurface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of sulfobetaine-based monomers includingmethacrylamide (SBMAm), vinylbenzene (SBVB) and vinylimidazolium (SBVI). None these sys-tems have been assessed regarding antifouling performance. Antifouling tests performed indicatethat surfaces featuring three systems substantially reduce the adhesion microal-gae, Amphora coffeaeformis, settlement cyprid larvae barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite,in a similar way, displaying comparable Thus, it appears that chemical structure thepolymerizable group has no substantial influence on
