A rapid approach to prepare poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-based antifouling coating by UV irradiation
Abstract(#br)A series of brush copolymers, poly[(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-random-4-vinylpyridine] (PMOXA-r-4VP), with a variety of compositions was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of the poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) methacrylate macromonomer (PMOXA-MA) and 4-vinylpyridine (4VP), and then characterized by 1 H NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
