In this study, we propose a substrate-independent biomimetic modification route for the creation of antifouling polymer brushes. This modification route consists of the formation/deposition of a biomimetic polydopamine anchor layer followed by a well-controlled surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of antifouling polymer brushes of polymer brushes of methoxy- and hydroxy-capped oligoethylene glycol methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and carboxybetaine acrylamide initiated by 2-bromo-2-methylpropanoyl groups covalently attached to the hydroxyl and amine groups present in the anchor layer. This work offers a promising technology for the facile fabrication of different surface-based biotechnological and biomedical devices able to perform tailor-made functions while resisting the fouling from the complex biological media where they operate.
