Abstract
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 applications. Herein we report on non-fouling polymer nanofilms that are grafted onto the pore walls of supported porous oxide structures that confer to them the lacking scratch resistance.
