“…To date, various types of antifouling CPs have been reported. The main strategy for preparing antifouling CPs is to introduce the antifouling functional moieties, such as PEG brushes, zwitterions, hydrogels, and peptides, into the side chain of the CPs by covalent bonds. − …”

The antifouling properties of conductive polymers have received extensive attention for biosensor and bioelectronic applications. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a wellknown antifouling material, but the controlled regulation of the surface topography of PEG without a template remains a challenge. Here, we show a columnar structure antifouling conductive polymer brush with enhanced antifouling properties and considerable conductivity. The method involves synthesizing the 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer modified with azide (EDOT-N 3 ), the electropolymerization of PEDOT-N 3 , and the in situ growth of PEG polymer brushes on PEDOT through double-click reactions. The resultant columnar structure polymer brush exhibits high electrical conductivity (3.5 Ω•cm 2 ), ultrahigh antifouling property, electrochemical stability (capacitance retention was 93.8% after 2000 cycles of CV scans in serum), and biocompatibility.
