摘　　要：聚合物刷是指大分子链通过物理作用力或共价键牢固地束缚在基材上,并具有可定义功能化的刷状结构,多用于表面防污改性。然而,系统地对不同链长和官能团类型的聚合物刷在防污能力方面的评价工作依然较少。通过表面引发零价铜介导的可控自由基聚合(SI-Cu^(0)CRP)制备一系列不同侧链结构的甲基丙烯酸酯类聚合物刷(如亲水性的寡聚乙二醇类、烷基类和疏水性的含氟类),并利用红外光谱(IR)和接触角(CA)表征其结构和表面性质。此外,使用耗散型石英晶体微天平(QCM-D)原位监测聚合物刷界面的蛋白质粘附,并通过荧光蛋白浸泡试验模拟蛋白质的非特异性吸附。结果表明:聚合物刷的侧链长度决定了其界面的水合能力,如聚(寡聚乙二醇)甲醚甲基丙烯酸酯-n20(pOEGMA-n20)的CA仅为39.6°±0.5°;长侧链结构的亲水性聚合物刷更易形成水合界面,抗蛋白吸附能力远高于疏水性聚合物刷界面(低至1.7ng/cm^(2));多氟长链结构的疏水性界面可以在动态流速下构建出一个空气层,通过减少蛋白质与材料表面的接触而展现出一定的防污能力。研究结果系统分析了聚合物刷侧链长度和官能团对其界面防污性能的影响,为聚合物刷改性的防污涂层提供参考依据。Polymer brushes are a class of functionalized brush-like structures with macromolecular chains firmly tethered to the substrate through physical forces or covalent bonds, which are widely used for surface antifouling because their chain lengths and types of functional groups can be customized. However, limited research has been performed on the intrinsic relationship between the chain length, functional group type, and antifouling performance. The preparation of these functional polymer brushes is highly dependent on versatile surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization(SI-CRP) strategies. In this study, a series of methacrylate polymer brushes with different side-chain structures(hydrophilic oligo(ethylene glycol), alkyl groups, and hydrophobic fluorinated polymers) were prepared by surface-initiated zero-valent copper-mediated controlled radical polymerization(SI-Cu^(0)CRP), and the relationship between these brushes and their antifouling properties was explored. The thicknesses of the polymer brushes were recorded by scanning probe microscopy(SPM), where the poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-n20(pOEGMA-n20) brush thickness reached 265 nm after 180 min of polymerization. The structure and surface properties of polymer brushes were characterized by infrared(IR) spectroscopy and contact angle(CA). The CA of poly(2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl methacrylate)(pF-17) has been significantly increased to 122.8°±0.2°from 39.6°±0.5°of pOEGMA-n20, which suggests that the side-chain length and functional groups of the polymer brush determines its interfacial hydration capacity. To understand the antifouling properties of the polymer brushes across the flow interface, the protein adhesion behavior was monitored in situ by the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation(QCM-D). Among hydrophilic pOEGMA brushes, the hydration capacity of the interface was proportional to its protein adsorption resistance, such as the protein adhesion content of p OEGMA-n20 brush(39.6°±0.5°)was only 1.7 ng/cm^(2
