Amphiphilic Hyperbranched Fluoropolymer Networks as Passive and Active Antibiofouling Coatings: From Fundamental Chemical Development to Performance Evaluation

The overall emphasis of this doctoral dissertation is on the design, synthesis, detailed characterization and application of amphiphilic hyperbranched fluoropolymers (HBFPs) crosslinked with poly(ethylene glycols) (PEGs) in complex polymer coatings as anti-biofouling surfaces. This dissertation bri...
