摘要：

Hyperbranched polyglycerol (HBPG) has been proven to be effective as a hydrophilic material when incorporated into amphiphilic copolymers, enhancing fouling-release properties. These amphiphilic polymers not only increase the effectiveness of coatings across a wide range of organisms but also impart antifouling characteristics without resorting to toxic chemicals. HBPGs exhibit high resistance to proteins and lead to the effective removal of marine organisms under low impact pressures. To enhance the effectiveness of HBPGs and facilitate polymer stratification onto the coating surface, copolymers with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were synthesized through a ring-opening multibranching polymerization reaction. These amphiphilic polymers, with varying molecular weights of the PDMS block and different degrees of branching in the HBPG blocks, were incorporated into a urea-siloxane moisture-cure coating system at a concentration of 5 wt %. This study aimed to identify the optimal molecular weight of PDMS and the degree of branching in HBPG that provides the most improved fouling-release (FR) properties to the base coating. The amphiphilic copolymers underwent thorough characterization using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), NMR, and surface tension measurements. Coatings were extensively characterized for their surface properties by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoinduced force microscopy (PiFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), moisture adsorption measurements, and contact angle measurements. To assess fouling-release and antifouling properties, laboratory biological assays were conducted with five common marine fouling organisms: Navicula incerta, Celluphaga lytica, Ulva linza, Chlorella vulgaris, and Amphibalanus amphitrite. Notably, 1k or 5k PDMS with a polyglycerol branching ratio of 10:1 or 15:1 emerged as the best performers across a diverse array of laboratory biological assays.
