Abstract

Abstract : A simple method for anti-biofouling coating based on a star-like hyperbranched polymer having hydrophilic arms. Abstract : A star-like hyperbranched polymer having hydrophilic poly(ethyleneoxide acrylate) arms (HB-PEO9A) was prepared by a core-first method based on atom transfer radical polymerization. The PEO9A layer coated on a solid substrate was dissolved by water, and effectively inhibited protein adsorption and cell adhesion.
