Abstract
The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients. Polymer brush coating provides a convenient and efficient method for surface modification while ensuring the preservation of the substrate's original properties. The current research has focused on a "trial and error" method to finding polymer brushes with superior lubricity qualities, which is time-consuming and expensive, as obtaining effective and long-lasting lubricity properties for polymer brushes is difficult. This review summarizes recent research advances in the biomedical field in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of lubricating and antifouling polymer brushes, which follow the polymer brush development process. This review begins by examining various approaches to polymer brush design, including molecular dynamics simulation and machine learning, from the fundamentals of polymer brush lubrication. Recent advancements in polymer brush design are then synthesized and potential avenues for future research are explored. Emphasis is placed on the burgeoning field of zwitterionic polymer brushes, and highlighting the broad prospects of supramolecular polymer brushes based on host-guest interactions in the field of self-repairing polymer brush applications. The review culminates by providing a summary of methodologies for characterizing the structural and functional attributes of polymer brushes. It is believed that a development approach for polymer brushes based on "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" can be created, easing the challenge of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricating qualities and enabling the on-demand creation of coatings. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biomedical devices have severe lubrication modification needs, and surface lubrication modification by polymer brush coating is currently the most promising means. However, the design and preparation of polymer brushes often involves "iterative testing" to find polymer brushes with excellent lubrication properties, which is both time-consuming and expensive. This review proposes a polymer brush development process based on the "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" strategy and summarizes recent research advances and trends in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of polymer brushes. This review will help polymer brush researchers by alleviating the challenges of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricity and promises to enable the on-demand construction of polymer brush lubrication coatings.

Abstract
An antifouling polymer brush-like structure was fabricated by a simple and versatile dip-coating method of sulfobetaine containing copolymer-grafted silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) and alkyl diiodide cross-linkers. Surface-initiated atom transfer radical copolymerization of 3-(N-2-methacryloyloxyethyl-N,N-dimethyl)ammonatopropanesulfonate (MAPS) and N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) was carried out from initiator-immobilized SiNPs to give poly(MAPS-co-DMAEMA)-grafted SiNPs (MAPS/DMAEMA = 9/1, mol/mol) with diameters of 150-170 nm. The SiNP-g-copolymer/2,2,2-trifluoroethanol solution was dip-coated on silicon and glass substrates. Successive treatment with 1,4-diiodobutane in methanol gave a hydrophilic cross-linked coating film for the SiNP-g-copolymer. The cross-linked particle brushes did not peel off from the substrate even after washing with water in an ultrasonic cleaner despite the simple physical absorption of the SiNP-g-copolymer on the substrate surface. The adhesion force of the tentacle of a living barnacle cyprid on a glass surface covered with the cross-linked SiNP-g-copolymer was directly measured by scanning probe microscopy in seawater. The coating film exhibited extremely low adhesion to the cypris larva in the seawater, expecting this to be an effective antifouling property.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2932. [PMID: 37999286 PMCID: PMC10674310 DOI: 10.3390/nano13222932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
The binding of conidia to surfaces is a prerequisite for biofouling by fungal species. In this study, Aspergillus niger subtypes 1957 and 1988 were used which produced differently shaped conidia (round or spikey respectively). Test surfaces were characterised for their surface topography, wettability, and hardness. Conidial assays included perpendicular and lateral force measurements, as well as attachment, adhesion and retention assays. Anionic surfaces were less rough (Ra 2.4 nm), less wettable (54°) and harder (0.72 GPa) than cationic surfaces (Ra 5.4 nm, 36° and 0.5 GPa, respectively). Perpendicular and lateral force assays demonstrated that both types of conidia adhered with more force to the anionic surfaces and were influenced by surface wettability. Following the binding assays, fewer A. niger 1957 and A. niger 1988 conidia bound to the anionic surface. However, surface wettability affected the density and dispersion of the conidia on the coatings, whilst clustering was affected by their spore shapes. This work demonstrated that anionic surfaces were more repulsive to A. niger 1998 spores than cationic surfaces were, but once attached, the conidia bound more firmly to the anionic surfaces. This work informs on the importance of understanding how conidia become tightly bound to surfaces, which can be used to prevent biofouling.

Eco-friendly erucamide-polydimethylsiloxane coatings for marine anti-biofouling. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 207:112003.

Abstract
Marine biofouling of ship hulls and ocean structures causes enormous economic losses due to increased frictional drag. Thus, efforts have been exerted worldwide to eliminate biofouling. In addition, a strong demand exists for the development of a cost-effective and eco-friendly anti-biofouling coating technology. Thus, erucamide-polydimethylsiloxane (EP) coating is proposed in this study. EP exhibits a hydrophobic surface as the erucamide content and drag reduction effect increase. In this study, the drag reduction effect of the EP 2.5 is better than that of glass and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces. Moreover, the proposed EP coatings are observed to prevent the biofouling induced by bacteria (E. coli) and brown algae (Cladosiphon sp.). In addition, through a marine field test, the anti-biofouling effect of the EP surface is found to be better than the previously studied oleamide-PDMS (OP) surface. In the marine field test, the EP 2.5 demonstrates superior anti-biofouling performance for 5.5 months under real marine environment. The proposed eco-friendly EP coating method could be applicable to marine vehicles that require effective drag reduction and anti-biofouling properties.

Abstract
A large population of patients is reported to suffer from urinary bladder-associated irreversible physiological disorders, rationalizing a continuous surge for structural and functional substitutes of urinary tissues, including ureters, bladder-wall, and urethra. The current gold standard for bladder reconstruction, an autologous gastrointestinal graft, is proven not to be an ideal substitute in the clinic. While addressing this unmet clinical need, a unique platform of antimicrobial polydimethyl siloxane-modified polyurethanes (TPU/PDMS) is designed and developed for its potential application as a urological implant. To the best of our knowledge, this study reports for the first time the successful integration of varying contents of PDMS within the molten polyurethane matrix using in situ crosslinking methodology. Thus, compatibilized binary blends possess clinically relevant viscoelastic properties to sustain high pressure, large distensions, and surgical manipulation. Furthermore, different chemical strategies are explored to covalently incorporate quaternized moieties, including 4-vinyl pyridine (4-VP), branched-polyethyleneimine (bPEI) as well as bPEI-grafted-(acrylic acid-co-vinylbenzyltriphenyl phosphonium chloride) (PAP), and counter urinary tract infections. The modified compositions, endowed with contact killing surfaces, reveal nearly three log reduction in bacterial growth in pathogenically infected artificial urine. Importantly, the antimicrobial TPU/PDMS blends support the uninhibited growth of mitochondrially viable murine fibroblasts, in a manner comparable to the medical-grade polyurethane. Collectively, the obtained results affirmed the newly developed polymers as promising biomaterials in reconstructive urology. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The clinical procedure for end-stage bladder disease remains replacement or augmentation of the bladder wall with a section of the patient's gastrointestinal tract. However, the absorptive and mucus-producing epithelium of intestinal segment is liable to short- and long-term complications. The dynamically crosslinked polydimethyl siloxane-based polyurethanes proposed herein, and the associated synthesis strategies to induce polycation grafted non-exhaustive contact-killing surfaces against uropathogents, have a significant clinical prospect in reconstructive urology. As an 'off-the-shelf' available alloplastic substitute, these blends offer the potential to circumvent the challenges associated with non-urinary autografts or scaffold based regenerative engineering and, thereby, shorten as well as simplify the surgical treatment. The targeted application has been conceived for a bladder patch to assist in various urinary diseases including, bladder carcinoma, refractory overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, etc. However, given the ease of fabrication, moldability and the wide spectrum of mechanical properties that could be encompassed, these blends also present the possibility to be manifested into artificial ureteral or urethral conduits.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) assembly is a versatile tool to construct low-fouling coatings. For application in the marine environment, their structure needs to be stabilized by covalent linkage. Here, we introduce an approach for spin coating of silane-based sol-gel chemistries using layer-by-layer assembly of polysaccharide-based hybrid polymer coatings (LBLHPs). The silane sol-gel chemistry allows the films to be cross-linked under water-based and mild reaction conditions. Two different silanes were used for this purpose, a conventional triethoxymethyl silane and a de novo synthesized zwitterionic silane. The polysaccharide-silane hybrid polymer coatings were thoroughly characterized with spectroscopic ellipsometry, water contact angle (WCA) goniometry, attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The coatings showed good stability in seawater, smooth surfaces, a high degree of hydration, and WCAs below or close to the Berg limit. LBLHPs showed low-fouling properties in biological assays against nonspecific protein adsorption, attachment of the diatom Navicula perminuta, and settlement of zoospores of the macroalga Ulva linza.

Abstract
Bombyx mori silk fibroin is a fibrous protein whose tunable properties and biocompatibility have resulted in its utility in a wide-variety of applications, including as drug delivery vehicles, wound dressings, and tissue engineering scaffolds. Control of protein and cell attachment is vital to the performance of biomaterials, but silk fibroin is mostly hydrophobic and interacts nonspecifically with cells and proteins. Silk functionalised with hydrophilic polymers reduces attachment, but the low number of reactive sites makes achieving a uniform conjugation a persistent challenge. This work presents a new approach to grow brush-like polymers from the surface of degradable silk films, where the films were enriched with hydroxyl groups, functionalised with an initiator, and finally reacted with acrylate monomers using atom transfer radical polymerisation. Two different routes to hydroxyl enrichment were investigated, one involving reaction with ethylene oxide (EO) and the other using a two-step photo-catalysed oxidation reaction. Both routes increased surface hydrophilicity, and hydrophilic monomers containing either uncharged (poly(ethylene glycol), PEG) pendant groups or zwitterionic pendant groups were polymerised from the surfaces. The initial processing of the films to induce beta sheet structures was found to impact the success of the polymerizations. Compared to the EO modified or unmodified silk surfaces, the oxidation reaction resulted in more polymer conjugation and the surfaces appear more uniform. Mesenchymal stem cell and protein attachment were the lowest on polymers grown from oxidised surfaces. PEG-containing brush-like polymers displayed lower protein attachment than surfaces conjugated with PEG using a previously reported "grafting to" method, but polymers containing zwitterionic side chains displayed both the lowest contact angles and the lowest cell and protein attachment. This finding may arise from the interactions of the zwitterionic pendant groups through their permanent dipoles and is an important finding because PEG is susceptible to oxidative damage that can reduce efficacy over time. These modified silk materials with lower cell and protein attachments are envisioned to find utility when enhanced diffusion around surfaces is required, such as in drug delivery implants.

Abstract
Marine biofouling can cause a biocorrosion, resulting in degradation and failure of materials and structures. In order to prevent sea creatures from attaching to the surface, in this work, a new environmentally friendly antifouling coating by incorporating antibacterial polymers and natural antifouling agents has been designed and synthesized. Surface chemical composition and changes in surface hydrophobicity were studied by FTIR spectroscopy and contact angle measurements, respectively. Measurements of mass loss of antifouling resin were also carried out and the release rate of camphor from antifouling coating was tested by using UPLC. It had been found that the changes in the content of triisopropylsilylacrylate (TIPSA) (from 4% to 12%) and isobornyl methacrylate (IBOMA) (from 50% to 16.7%) did not significantly affect the release of camphor. The content of IBOMA decreased from 50% to 16.7%, the antifouling performance of the resin system appeared slightly reduced. In addition, rosin could help regulate the release rate of the resin system to desorb camphor slowly in water in a controlled manner. Furthermore, the antifouling capability of as-prepared samples was evaluated via algae suppression experiments and marine field tests. This study highlighted the environmentally friendly antifouling coating as a potential candidate and efficient strategy to prohibit biofouling in seawater.

Abstract
Long-term resistance of biomaterials to the bacterial biofilm formation without antibiotic or biocide is highly demanded for biomedical applications. In this work, a novel biodegradable biomaterial with excellent capability to prevent long-term bacterial biofilm formation is prepared by the following two steps. Ethylcarboxybetaine ester analogue methacrylate (ECBEMA), poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate (PEGMA), and 3-methacryloxypropyletris(trimethylsiloxy)silane (TRIS) were copolymerized to obtain p(ECBEMA-PEGMA-TRIS) (PEPT). Then, PEPT was cross-linked by isocyanate-terminated polylactic acid (IPDI-PLA-IPDI) to obtain the final PEPTx-PLAy (x and y are the number-average molecular weights (Mn) of PEPT and PLA, respectively) with optimal mechanical strength and adjustable surface regeneration rate. Static contact angle measurement, protein adsorption measurement, and attenuated total reflectance infrared (ATR-IR) results show that the PEPT19800-PLA800 film surface can generate a zwitterionic layer to resist nonspecific protein adsorption after surface hydrolysis. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) results indicates that the PEPT19800-PLA800 film can undergo gradual degradation of the surface layer at the lowest swelling rate. Particularly, this material can efficiently resist the bacterial biofilm formation of both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria over 14 and 6 days, respectively. Moreover, the material also shows an ideal self-healing feature to adapt to harsh conditions. Thus, this nonfouling material shows great potential in biomedical applications and marine antifouling coatings without antibiotic or biocide.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 381:120984. [PMID: 31430638 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.120984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2019] [Revised: 07/30/2019] [Accepted: 08/07/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
A major challenge of uranium extraction from seawater (UES) is to effectively block the biofouling without destroying the ecological balance, especially prevent the attachment of macroalgae on the surface of the adsorbent. Herein, a robust montmorillonite-polydopamine/polyacrylamide nanocomposite hydrogel is reported by a two-step method, including PDA intercalation MMT and further free radical polymerization with AM monomers. The interpenetrating structure of hydrogel lead to high water permeability with the swelling ratio of 51, which could fully facilitate the internal accessible sites exposure and increase the uranium diffusion. As a result, a high adsorption capacity of 44 mg g-1 was achieved in lab-scale dynamic adsorption. Most importantly, the prepared anti-biofouling hydrogel adsorbents display excellent anti-adhesion ability towards Nitzschia after 8 days contact. The adsorption capacity of uranium can reach 2130 μg g-1 in algae-contained simulated seawater. This hydrogel also exhibited a long service life of acceptable mechanical strength and adsorption capacity after at least 6 adsorption-desorption cycles. This new anti-biofouling nanocomposite hydrogel shows great potential as a new generation adsorbent for UES.

Abstract
Polymer resins are critical for marine anti-biofouling coatings. In this study, degradable poly(ester- co-acrylate) with antifoulant pendant groups has been prepared by the radical ring-opening polymerization of 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane, methyl methacrylate, and N-methacryloyloxy methyl benzoisothiazolinone. Such a polymer containing main-chain esters can hydrolytically and enzymatically degrade. Both degradation rates increase with main-chain ester content. Moreover, since the antifoulant groups are chemically grafted to the degradable main chain, their release can be controlled by the degradation besides the hydrolysis of side groups. Our study shows that the copolymer coating is efficient in inhibiting the accumulation of marine bacterial biofilm of Pseudomonas sp. and diatom Navicular incerta. Marine field test reveals that the copolymer has excellent efficiency in preventing biofouling for more than 6 months.

Abstract
Large quantities of organic ion-exchange resins are used worldwide for water decontamination and polishing. Fouling by microorganisms and decomposition products of natural organic matter severely limits the lifetime of these resins. Much research has thus been invested in polymer-based antifouling coatings. In the present study, poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and a co-polymer of PSS and a zwitterionic group were used to spontaneously coat commercial Dowex 1X8 anion-exchange resin. UV-visible spectroscopy provided a precise measure of the kinetics and amount of PSS sorbed onto or into resin beads. When challenged with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii algae, uncoated resin was rapidly fouled by algae. Coating the resin with either the homopolymer of PSS or the co-polymer with zwitterion eliminated fouling. Using narrow- and wide-molecular-weight distribution PSS, a cutoff molecular weight of about 240 repeat units was found, above which PSS was unable to diffuse into the resin. Thus, only one monolayer of added PSS was sufficient to confer a highly desirable antifouling property on this resin while consuming less than 0.1% of the exchanger capacity. Radioactive sulfate ions were used to probe the kinetics of (self)exchange, which were virtually unaffected by the PSS coating. This resin treatment is a fast, ultra-low-cost step for potentially enhancing the lifetime of ion exchangers.

Abstract
Biofilm formation on surfaces is an important research topic in ship tribology and medical implants. In this study, dopamine and two types of synthetic peptides were designed and attached to 304 stainless steel surfaces, aiming to inhibit the formation of biofilms. A combinatory surface modification procedure was applied in which dopamine was used as a coupling agent, allowing a strong binding ability with the two peptides. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), elemental analysis, contact angle measurement and surface roughness test were used to evaluate the efficiency of the peptide modification. An antibiofilm assay against Staphylococcus aureus was conducted to validate the antibiofilm capacity of the peptide-modified stainless steel samples. XPS analysis confirmed that the optimal dopamine concentration was 40 µg ml-1 in the coupling reaction. Element analysis showed that dopamine and the peptides had bound to the steel surfaces. The robustness assay of the modified surface demonstrated that most peptide molecules had bound on the surface of the stainless steel firmly. The contact angle of the modified surfaces was significantly changed. Modified steel samples exhibited improved antibiofilm properties in comparison to untreated and dopamine-only counterpart, with the peptide 1 modification displaying the best antibiofilm effect. The modified surfaces showed antibacterial capacity. The antibiofilm capacity of the modified surfaces was also surface topography sensitive. The steel sample surfaces polished with 600# sandpaper exhibited stronger antibiofilm capacity than those polished with other types of sandpapers after peptide modification. These findings present valuable information for future antifouling material research.

Abstract
Arginine polymer based coatings with switchable properties were developed on glass slides (GS) to demonstrate the smart transition from antimicrobial (cationic) to fouling-resistant (zwitterionic) surfaces. l-Arginine methyl ester-methacryloylamide (Arg-Est) and l-arginine-methacryloylamide (Arg-Me) polymer brushes were grafted from the GS surface via surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (SI-RAFT) polymerization. In comparison to the pristine GS and Arg-Me graft polymerized GS (GS-Arg-Me) surfaces, the Arg-Est polymer brushes-functionalized GS surfaces exhibit a superior antimicrobial activity. Upon hydrolysis treatment, the strong bactericidal efficacy switches to good resistance to adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA), the adhesion of Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, as well as the attachment of Amphora coffeaeformis. In addition, the switchable coatings are proven to be biocompatible. The stability and durability of the switchable coatings are also ascertained after exposure to filtered seawater for 30 days. Therefore, deposition of the proposed "smart coatings" offers another environmentally friendly alternative for combating biofouling.

Abstract
Semi-interpenetrated polyvinyl alcohol polymer networks (SIPNs) were prepared by integrating various charged components into polyvinyl alcohol polymer. Contact angle measurement, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and tensile tests were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the prepared SIPNs. To investigate the contribution of charges to marine antifouling, the adhesion behaviors of green algae Dunaliella tertiolecta and diatoms Navicula sp. in the laboratory and of the actual marine animals in field test were studied for biofouling assays. The results suggest that less algae accumulation densities are observed for neutral-, anionic-, and zwitterionic-component-integrated SIPNs. However, for the cationic SIPNs, despite the hydration shell induced by the ion-dipole interaction, the resistance to biofouling largely depends on the amount of cationic component because of the possible favorable electrostatic attraction between the cationic groups in SIPNs and the negatively charged algae. Considering that the preparation of novel nontoxic antifouling coating is a long-standing and cosmopolitan industrial challenge, the SIPNs may provide a useful reference for marine antifouling and some other relevant fields.

Abstract
We report on the marine fouling and fouling release effects caused by variations of surface mechanical properties and microtopography of engineering polymers. Polymeric materials were covered with hierarchical micromolded topographical patterns inspired by the shell of the marine decapod crab Myomenippe hardwickii. These micropatterned surfaces were deployed in field static immersion tests. PDMS, polyurethane, and PMMA surfaces with higher elastic modulus and hardness were found to accumulate more fouling and exhibited poor fouling release properties. The results indicate interplay between surface mechanical properties and microtopography on antifouling performance.

Abstract
Marine biofouling has detrimental effects on the environment and economy, and current antifouling coatings research is aimed at environmentally benign, non-toxic materials. The possibility of using contact-active coatings is explored, by considering the antialgal activity of cationic poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) brushes. The antialgal activity was investigated via zoospore settlement and sporeling growth assays of the marine algae Ulva linza and U. lactuca. The assay results for PDMAEMA brushes were compared to those for anionic and neutral surfaces. It was found that only PDMAEMA could disrupt zoospores that come into contact with it, and that it also inhibits the subsequent growth of normally settled spores. Based on the spore membrane properties, and characterization of the PDMAEMA brushes over a wide pH range, it is hypothesized that the algicidal mechanisms are similar to the bactericidal mechanisms of cationic polymers, and that further development could lead to successful contact-active antialgal coatings.

Abstract
The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical properties of interfaces and has given rise to great advances in surface and interface engineering. Polymer brushes are defined as thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. Significant advances have been made over the past years in the field of polymer brushes. This includes novel developments in SI-CRP, as well as the emergence of novel applications such as catalysis, electronics, nanomaterial synthesis and biosensing. Additionally, polymer brushes prepared via SI-CRP have been utilized to modify the surface of novel substrates such as natural fibers, polymer nanofibers, mesoporous materials, graphene, viruses and protein nanoparticles. The last years have also seen exciting advances in the chemical and physical characterization of polymer brushes, as well as an ever increasing set of computational and simulation tools that allow understanding and predictions of these surface-grafted polymer architectures. The aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive review that critically assesses recent advances in the field and highlights the opportunities and challenges for future work.

Abstract
Conventional in vitro circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection methods are always limited by the blood sample volume because of the extremely low abundance of CTCs among the large number of hematologic cells. The aim of this study was to overcome this limitation by designing and constructing an in vitro CTC capture assay. We blended poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) into nylon-6 through electrospinning to generate a fibrous mat-based capture assay of CTCs. The contents of nylon-6, PSBMA, and PAA in the electrospun triple-blend fibrous mats (ETBFMs) were optimized to avoid degradation and to balance between the non-biofouling behavior and the antibody immobilizing efficiency. In addition, we examined the capture ability of CTCs for clinical diagnoses of colorectal cancer, in comparison with the results identified through pathological analyses of biopsies from colonoscopies. For nine individuals with stage II, III, and IV colorectal cancer, our CTC detection with ETBFMs provided complete positive expression. Two of four individuals were diagnosed to possess stage I colorectal cancer. Two of seven individuals without colorectal tumor, as identified through pathological analyses of biopsies, exhibited positive expression of CTCs. These positive results suggest that such ETBFMs are promising materials for in vitro CTC capture assays.

Abstract
The resistance of charged polymers to biofouling was investigated by subjecting cationic (PDMAEMA), anionic (PSPMA), neutral (PHEMA-co-PEG10MA), and zwitterionic (PSBMA) brushes to assays testing protein adsorption; attachment of the marine bacterium Cobetia marina; settlement and adhesion strength of zoospores of the green alga Ulva linza; settlement of barnacle (Balanus amphitrite and B. improvisus) cypris larvae; and field immersion tests. Several results go beyond the expected dependence on direct electrostatic attraction; PSPMA showed good resistance towards attachment of C. marina, low settlement and adhesion of U. linza zoospores, and significantly lower biofouling than on PHEMA-co-PEG10MA or PSBMA after a field test for one week. PDMAEMA showed potential as a contact-active anti-algal coating due to its capacity to damage attached spores. However, after field testing for eight weeks, there were no significant differences in biofouling coverage among the surfaces. While charged polymers are unsuitable as antifouling coatings in the natural environment, they provide valuable insights into fouling processes, and are relevant for studies due to charging of nominally neutral surfaces.

Abstract
Coatings based on thin films of agarose-poly(ethylene glycol) (Agr-PEG) cross-linked systems are developed as environmentally-friendly and fouling-resistant marine coatings. The Agr-PEG cross-linked systems were prepared via thermal azide-alkyne cycloaddition (AAC) using azido-functionalized Agr (AgrAz) and activated alkynyl-containing poly(2-propiolamidoethyl methacrylate-co-poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether methacrylate) P(PEMA-co-PEGMEMA) random copolymers as the precursors. The Agr-PEG cross-linked systems were further deposited onto a SS surface, pre-functionalized with an alkynyl-containing biomimetic anchor, dopamine propiolamide, to form a thin film after thermal treatment. The thin film-coated SS surfaces can effectively reduce the adhesion of marine algae and the settlement of barnacle cyprids. Upon covalent cross-linking, the covalently cross-linked Agr-PEG films coated SS surfaces exhibit good stability in flowing artificial seawater, and enhanced resistance to the settlement of barnacle cyprids, in comparison to that of the surfaces coated with physically cross-linked AgrAz films.

Abstract
Zwitterionic polymer brushes based on sulfobetaine vinylimidazole (pSBVI) were successfully grafted to silicon substrates by electrochemical surface-initiated atomic-transfer radical polymerization (e-SIATRP), and exhibited excellent anti-fouling activities because of the presence of the two bactericidal functional groups, imidazolium and sulfonate. Various characterization techniques, including atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and use of a quartz crystal microbalance, were employed to characterize the polymer brush-modified silicon substrates. Subsequently, the anti-bacterial and anti-biofouling activities of the polymer brush substrates were evaluated. The experimental results showed that the pSBVI effectively resisted the adhesion of Nannochloropsis maritima and showed good anti-bacterial activity against Escherichia coli. In addition, in comparison with poly(vinylimidazole) brush-modified substrates and the bare substrate, the pSBVI-based materials also exhibited excellent anti-adsorption performance against both bovine serum albumin and lysozyme.

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

Abstract
Unwanted adhesion of microalgae on submerged surfaces is a ubiquitous problem across many maritime operations. We explored the strategy of developing a silver nanoparticle (AgNP) coating for antifouling applications in marine and freshwater environments. In situ growth of AgNPs was achieved by a polydopamine (PDA)-based method. A range of most used industrial materials, including glass, polystyrene, stainless steel, paint surface, and even cobblestone, were employed, on which AgNP coatings were built and characterized. We described the fouling-resistant behavior of these AgNP-modified surfaces against two typical fouling organisms: a marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta and a freshwater green alga community. The PDA-mediated AgNP deposition strategy was demonstrated applicable for all the above materials; the resulting AgNP coatings showed a significant surface inhibitory effect against the adhesion of microalgae by above 85% in both seawater and freshwater environments. We observed that contact killing was the predominant antifouling mechanism of AgNP-modified surfaces, and the viability of the microalgae cells in bulk media would not be affected. In addition, silver loss from PDA-mediated AgNPs was relatively slow; it could allow the coating to persist for long-term usage. This study showed the potential of preparing environmentally friendly surfaces that can effectively manage biofouling through the direct deposition of AgNP coatings.

Abstract
In this work, antibacterial and anti-adhesive polymeric thin films were constructed on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous membranes in order to extend their applications. Polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHGH) as an antibacterial agent and heparin (HP) as an anti-adhesive agent have been successfully coated onto the membranes via a layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique confirmed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antibacterial properties of LBL-functionalized PAN nanofibrous membranes were evaluated using the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative Escherichia coli. Furthermore, the dependence of the antibacterial activity and anti-biofouling performance on the number of layers in the LBL films was investigated quantitatively. It was found that these LBL-modified nanofibrous membranes possessed high antibacterial activities, easy-cleaning properties and stability under physiological conditions, thus qualifying them as candidates for anti-biofouling coatings.

Abstract
Sequential layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of polyelectrolytes followed by chemical cross-linking was investigated as a method to fabricate functional amphiphilic surfaces for marine biofouling prevention applications. A novel polyanion, grafted with amphiphilic perfluoroalkyl polyethylene glycol (fPEG) side chains, was synthesized and subsequently used to introduce amphiphilic character to the LbL film. The structure of the polyanion was confirmed by FTIR and NMR. Amphiphilicity of the film assembly was demonstrated by both water and hexadecane static contact angles. XPS studies of the cross-linked and annealed amphiphilic LbL films revealed the increased concentration of fPEG content at the film interface. In antifouling assays, the amphiphilic LbL films effectively prevented the adhesion of the marine bacterium Pseudomonas (NCIMB 2021).

Abstract
The successful implementation of zwitterionic polymeric brushes as antifouling materials for marine applications is conditioned by the stability of the polymer chain and the brush-anchoring segment in seawater. Here we demonstrate that robust, antifouling, hydrophilic polysulfobetaine-based brushes with diblock architecture can be fabricated by atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using initiator-modified surfaces. Sequential living-type polymerization of hydrophobic styrene or methyl methacrylate and commercially available hydrophilic sulfobetaine methacrylamide (SBMAm) monomer is employed. Stability enhancement is accomplished by protecting the siloxane anchoring bond of brushes on the substrate, grafted from silicon oxide surfaces. The degradation of unprotected PSBMAm brushes is clearly evident after a 3 month immersion challenge in sterilized artificial seawater. Ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements are used to follow changes in coating thickness and surface morphology. Comparative stability results indicate that surface-tethered poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene hydrophobic blocks substantially improve the stability of zwitterionic brushes in an artificial marine environment. In addition, differences between the hydration of zwitterionic brushes in fresh and salt water are discussed to provide a better understanding of hydration and degradation processes with the benefit of improved design of polyzwitterionic coatings.

Abstract
A polyionic multilayer film was fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) sequential deposition followed by cross-linking under mild conditions on a substrate surface to inhibit marine fouling. A novel polyanion, featuring methyl ester groups for an easy cross-linking was used as a generic solution for stabilization of LbL films in a harsh environment. Covalent cross-linking was confirmed by FTIR and XPS spectroscopy. AFM was used to observe film morphology and its variation because of cross-linking, as well as to measure the thickness of the LbL films. Cross-linking improved the stability of the LbL film when it was immersed in artificial seawater, natural seawater, and in a polar organic solvent (DMSO). No changes in the thickness and topography of the film were observed in these media. The LbL films prevented settlement of Amphibalanus amphitrite barnacle cyprids and reduced adhesion of the benthic diatom Amphora coffeaeformis. Assay results indicated that the cross-linking process did not weaken the antifouling effect of LbL films. The high stability and low degree of fouling make these coatings potentially promising candidates in marine applications.

Abstract
This review covers the in situ molecular physicochemical characterisation of bioadhesives at solid/liquid interfaces, with the aim of elucidating the adhesion strategies that lie at the root of marine biofouling. It focuses on three major foulers: mussels, algae and barnacles. The dispersal of these organisms, their colonisation of surfaces, and ultimately their survival rely critically on the ability of the organisms' larvae or spores to locate a favourable settlement site and undergo metamorphosis, thus initiating their sessile existence. Differences in the composition of adhesive secretions and the strategies employed for their temporary or permanent implementation exists between the larval and adult life stages. To date, only a few adhesive secretions from marine fouling organisms have been adequately described in terms of their chemical composition, and a survey revealed the presence of certain recurrent functional groups, specifically catechol, carboxylate, monoester-sulphate and -phosphate. This review will describe the binding modes of such functionalities to wet mineral/metal oxides surfaces. Such functionalities will be ranked based on their ability to bind to hydrophilic surfaces replacing surface-bound water (Langmuir adsorption constant) as well as other adsorbates (competitive adsorption). A plausible explanation for the propensity of the reviewed adhesive functionalities to bind to hydrous metal oxide surfaces will be given on the basis of the Hard and Soft Acids and Bases principle, Hofmeister effects and entropic considerations. From the in situ analysis of marine organism bioadhesives and adsorption studies of functionalities relevant to the bioadhesion process, insights can be gleaned for a knowledge-based innovation of antifouling strategies and the synthesis of strong, durable adhesive materials, which are suitable for implementation in wet environments.
