Zusammenfassung:According to one or more embodiments, an antifouling material may be produced by forming a nanostructured mold, where a liquid mold precursor is contacted with a textured surface of a nanostructured template, the liquid mold precursor is solidified to the nanostructured template, and the formed nanostructured mold is removed from the nanostructured template. The antifouling material may be formed by contacting a liquid precursor mixture with a textured surface of the nanostructured mold, solidifying the liquid precursor mixture onto the nanostructured mold, and removing the formed antifouling material from the nanostructured mold. The antifouling material may include a nanostructured surface and may further include a toxin.
