Figure 8: AFM images of an amphiphilic coating showing the influence of immersion on surface nanostructure.
From: Trends in the development of environmentally friendly fouling-resistant marine coatings
AFM phase images of polystyrene-based amphiphilic diblock fluorinated/PEGylated copolymer coatings were obtained in tapping mode (a) before, and (b) after immersion for 7 days in artificial seawater. Scale bars are 200 nm. Images reproduced with permission from ref. 51, © 2008 American Chemical Society.
