Transport and antifouling properties of papain-based antifouling coatings [PDF]
Applied Surface Science, 2015 Abstract The aim of this work is to study the antifouling performance and water uptake behaviour of coatings formulated with papain (an environmentally friendly pigment). Antifouling coatings have been formulated using rosin (natural resin) as matrix and papain adsorbed in activated carbon as pigment.

Antifouling properties of hydrogels [PDF]
Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2011 Marine sessile organisms easily adhere to submerged solids such as rocks, metals and plastics, but not to seaweeds and fishes, which are covered with soft and wet 'hydrogel'. Inspired by this fact, we have studied long-term antifouling properties of hydrogels against marine sessile organisms.
