Transport and antifouling properties of papain-based antifouling coatings
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.
