Synthesis of binary amphiphilic co-networks coatings composed of well-defined tri-arm star diblock copolymers cross-linked with polyhydrosiloxanes through hydrosilylation was performed to generate antifouling surfaces. The PMHS segments of the networks endow the coating with a low surface energy while the N-isopropylacrylamide (DMAAm) was added to weaken fouling adhesion. Antifouling characteristics were investigated by bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption studies; the coating displayed a 60% greater resistance to protein adsorption in comparison to the fouling of a control. The unique surface topography and chemical heterogeneity expressed at a variety of scales generate complex surfaces known to incorporate characteristics appropriate for antifouling applications. The nontoxicity in relevant environment demonstrated it appropriate for consideration in marine applications.
