Bio sourced adsorbing poly(2 oxazoline)s mimicking mussel glue proteins for antifouling applications Nature developed countless systems for many applications. In maritime environments several organisms established extra ordinary mechanisms to attach to surfaces. Over the past years the scientific interest to employ those mechanisms for coatings and long lasting adhering materials gained significant attention. This work describes the synthesis of bio inspired adsorbing copoly(2 oxazoline)s for surface coatings with protein repelling effects mimicking mussel glue proteins. From a set of methoxy substituted phenyl benzyl and cinnamyl acids 2 oxazoline monomers were synthesized. All synthesized 2 oxazolines were analyzed by FT IR spectroscopy NMR spectroscopy and EI mass spectrometry. With those newly synthesized 2 oxazoline monomers and 2 ethyl 2 oxazoline kinetic studies concerning homo and copolymerization in a microwave reactor were conducted. The success of the polymerization reactions was demonstrated by FT IR spectroscopy NMR spectroscopy MALDI TOF mass spectrometry and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). [...]
