Antifouling ABC Triblock Copolymers with Grafted Functionality


Innovation Details
 

Detailed Description

Cornell researchers have developed novel polymers, including triblock polymers, as well as methods of preparing the polymers, and compositions that include these polymers.  The polymers can include at least three blocks, including poly(styrene), poly(isoprene), and an arrangement of poly(ethylene) and poly(butylene).  The polymers can be used to provide antifouling coatings, for example, for marine ship hulls.
