Marine biofouling is a problem for marine industry and maritime activities. We have prepared polyurethane with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) main chains and N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) maleimide (TCM) pendant groups via a combination of a thiol鈥揺ne click reaction and a condensation reaction and studied its properties. The polymer has low surface energy and a high water contact angle. When TCM content in bulk is high enough, sufficient antifoulant groups can be exposed on the surface. Our study reveals that such polymeric surface can effectively inhibit the adhesion and colonization of marine organisms such as bacteria (Micrococcus luteus), diatom Navicula, and barnacle cyprids. Particularly, marine field tests demonstrate that the polymer has excellent antibiofouling performance in 110 days.
