Abstract

The present invention provides compounds of formulae (I), (II), and (III), which can be block copolymers with various substituents and side-chain groups. The side-chains can include semifluorinated alkyl- and PEG-derived groups. The block copolymers can be surface active block copolymers (SABCs) and can be used as antifouling coatings. Coating compositions employing the compounds of the invention and methods for their use are also provided.
