The role of nano-roughness in antifouling

Biofouling, 2009
Nano-engineered superhydrophobic surfaces have been investigated for potential fouling resistance properties. Integrating hydrophobic materials with nanoscale roughness generates surfaces with superhydrophobicity that have water contact angles (theta) >150 degrees and concomitant low hysteresis (

Antifouling coatings for optoelectronic tweezers

Lab on a Chip, 2009
Optoelectronic tweezers enables parallel manipulation of individual single cells using optical addressing and optically induced dielectrophoretic force. This provides a useful platform for performing a variety of biological functions, such as cell manipulation, cell sorting, and cell electroporation.

New Antifouling Silica Hydrogel

Langmuir, 2012
In this work, a new antifouling silica hydrogel was developed for potential biomedical applications. A zwitterionic polymer, poly(carboxybetaine methacrylate) (pCBMA), was produced via atom-transfer radical polymerization and was appended to the hydrogel network in a two-step acid-base-catalyzed sol-gel process.

Antifouling Ion-Exchange Resins

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018
Large quantities of organic ion-exchange resins are used worldwide for water decontamination and polishing. Fouling by microorganisms and decomposition products of natural organic matter severely limits the lifetime of these resins. Much research has thus been invested in polymer-based antifouling coatings. In the present study, poly(4-styrenesulfonate)

Designing biomimetic antifouling surfaces

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2010
Marine biofouling is the accumulation of biological material on underwater surfaces, which has plagued both commercial and naval fleets. Biomimetic approaches may well provide new insights into designing and developing alternative, non-toxic, surface-active antifouling (AF) technologies. In the marine environment, all submerged surfaces are affected by

Organotin antifouling paints and their alternatives

Applied Organometallic Chemistry, 2003
AbstractTributyltin and triphenyltin compounds have excellent biocidal properties and almost all vessels in the world have used these paints since early in the 1960s. Contrary to expectation, as shown by experimental data at the beginning of organotin chemistry, triorganotins are exceptionally stable in the sediment or in dark places in the deep sea ...
