Amphiphilic modified-styrene copolymer films: Antifouling/fouling release properties against the green alga Ulva linza

- We prepared novel surface-active copolymers of modified-styrene monomers.
- We incorporated such a copolymer into a PDMS cross-linked blend.
- The film surface was found to respond to the outer environment by XPS analysis.
- We tested the antifouling/fouling release performance against the green alga Ulva.
- The biological performance was correlated with the copolymer blended.
