Zusammenfassung:An article has a surface topography for resisting bioadhesion of organisms and includes a base article having a surface. A composition of the surface includes a polymer. The surface has a topography comprising a pattern defined by a plurality of spaced apart features attached to or projected into the base article. The plurality of features each have at least one microscale dimension and at least one neighboring feature having a substantially different geometry, wherein neighboring patterns share a common feature. The surface has an optical transmission at 400 nm to 700 nm of equal to or greater than 70%. In one embodiment, the surface can comprise a coating layer disposed on the base article.
