Polysulfobetaine-Grafted Surfaces as Environmentally Benign Ultralow Fouling Marine Coatings

Abstract

Coatings based on polysulfobetaine polymers are being developed as environmentally benign, fouling-resistant marine coatings. Poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (polySBMA) brushes were grafted onto glass surfaces using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The settlement, growth, and attachment strength of marine algae were investigated on polySBMA-coated surfaces. Results showed that few spores of the green marine alga, Ulva, settled (attached) on the polySMBA surfaces, and the adhesion strength of both spores and sporelings (young plants) was low. Diatoms were also mostly unable to adhere to the polySMBA surfaces. Assays demonstrated that SBMA polymers in solution were not toxic. The data are discussed in terms of the interfacial properties presented by the polySMBA surfaces. Zwitterionic polymers and coatings exhibit great advantages for their effectiveness to resist marine fouling while being environmentally benign and are promising as ultralow fouling marine coatings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
