Marine coatings including cationic polymers hydrolyzable to nonfouling zwitterionic polymers, coated marine surfaces, and methods for making and using the marine coatings.

Marine coatings

Hierarchical films with structurally regulated functionalities through the integration of two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures to achieve ultra low nonspecific binding and high loading of molecular recognition elements, and methods for making and using the films.

Hierarchical films having ultra low fouling and high recognition element loading properties

A method of preparing a block copolymer of Formula (B) wherein Prepresents a substantially aqueously soluble polymeric component and Prepresents a substantially aqueously insoluble polymeric component, comprises admixing an aqueously soluble polymer macro-chain transfer agent comprising Pwith a monomer (M) and initiating an aqueous dispersion-type radical addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. (P) is derived from a monomer (M) selected from monomers of the Formulae (M), (M) and/or (M) where R, Rand Rrepresent a substituent of (M) or (M) which allows Pto be at least partially aqueously soluble, Rrepresents H, CHor CN, Rrepresents one or more substituents of the aromatic ring effective to allow Pto be at least partially aqueously soluble, and monomer Mis selected from: where Ris a substituent of (M) which allows Pto be substantially aqueously insoluble, and Rand Rindependently represent H or methyl. 

Polymer synthesis

Cationic polymers hydrolyzable to zwitterionic polymers, monomers for making the cationic polymers, surfaces that include the polymers, and methods for making and using the cationic polymers and surfaces. The cationic polymers include counterions and/or hydrolyzable groups that release active agents.
