Scratch resistant non-fouling surfaces via grafting non-fouling polymers on the pore walls of supported porous oxide structures

Non-fouling polymer films have a wide application potential spanning the areas of biotechnology, smart implants and submerse maritime surfaces. The films reported hitherto are, however, ultrathin and lack the mechanical strength and scratch resistance that could qualify them for technological applic...
