Anti-biofouling has been improved by passive or active ways. Passive antifouling strategies aim to prevent the initial adsorption of foulants, while active strategies aim to eliminate proliferative fouling by destruction of the chemical structure and inactivation of the cells. However, neither passive antifouling nor active antifouling strategies can solely resist biofouling due to their inherent limitations. Herein, we successfully developed antibacterial surfaces for waterborne and airborne bacteria with the benefit of combination of anti-adhesion (passive) and bactericidal (active) properties of the surfaces. We elaborated multifunctionalizable porous amine-reactive polymer films incorporating antifouling silicone oil lubricants and bactericidal silver nanoparticles. The surfaces presented in this study demonstrate outstanding antibacterial effects toward both waterborne and airborne Escherichia coli, suggesting a new door to develop an effective multimodal anti-biofouling surface.
