Enzyme-catalyzed modification of PES surfaces: Reduction in adsorption of BSA, dextrin and tannin

► Enzyme-catalyzed modification can be used to design antifouling surfaces. ► BSA, dextrin, and tannin repellence by laccase-catalyzed modified PES surfaces. ► No direct relationship between fouling of a surface and its hydrophilicity. ► Surface morphology is important for effective foulant repellence.
