Fouling Resistant Biomimetic Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Based Grafted Polymer Coatings

Accumulation of biological matter at surfaces is an inevitable event in virtually any environment in which natural and man-made materials are used. Although sometimes fouling of surfaces with biomolecules and bioorganisms has little consequence, biofouling must be minimized or controlled in order to maintain performance and safety of devices and structures.
