Abstract: Disclosed are anti-fouling and optionally specific binding surfaces, methods for forming anti-fouling and optionally specific binding surfaces, and molecules that may be useful for forming anti-fouling and optionally specific binding surfaces. The surfaces may be formed by employing a molecule comprising a poly(2-oxazoline) having functional groups. In an embodiment, the poly(2-oxazoline) comprises a carboxyl endgroup, an amine endgroup, an N- hydroxysuccinimide endgroup, an oxirane endgroup, an oxetane endgroup, or an isocyanate endgroup, which may enable attachment of a specific binding moiety to the poly(2-oxazoline). In an embodiment, the poly(2-oxazoline) molecule comprises a (meth)acrylate functionality that may allow for attachment to a surface comprising a moiety capable of nucleophilic conjugate addition.
