Amphiphilic Non‐Isocyanate Polyurethane Coatings With Tunable Antifouling and Fouling‐Release Performance: A Log‐Ratio Assessment Framework

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic non‐isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) coatings containing reactive hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and hydrophilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) prepolymers for marine antifouling (AF) and fouling‐release (FR) applications were investigated. The coatings were evaluated with a set of representative marine foulants.
