A novel cross‐linked copolymer containing hydrophobic perfluoropolyether and hydrophilic oligo(ethylene glycol) units was synthesized and characterized. The anti‐biofouling properties of the fluoropolymer were evaluated by laboratory assays using the fouling diatom Nitzschia and bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The results from the preliminary study showed that this fluorinated copolymer has promising anti‐biofouling performance.
