Nonfouling materials are of great importance for numerous applications. A simple method is introduced to prepare nonfouling materials and surfaces (see figure) with unique properties from a variety of desirable functional groups. Materials with a uniform distribution of mixed charged groups at the nanometer scale, similar to zwitterionic materials, are excellent candidates for use as nonfouling materials.
