Abstract
Optically transparent, impact-resistant solid polymer bodies are provided that are resistant to fouling by organisms such as algae, bacteria and molds. The bodies may be sheets of polymer for use as covers for optical sensors, windows or other cover glasses. The materials may be formed by solvent casting, extrusion or other processing methods.
