Abstract
The sucessful grafting of highly polar polymer chains both on the surface and in the subsurface of PDMSviasubsurface initiated ATRP for the improved antibiofouling performance is enabled by the diffusion of organic solvents (in a water-based binary solvent) which act as not only a “carrier” for hydrophilic monomers but also a “sweller” for the PDMS substrate.
