Design and Application of Antifouling Bio-Coatings

Polymers
Antifouling coatings stand out as one of the highly efficient ways to mitigate surface contamination. Traditional antifouling coatings have a major drawback: they rely on highly toxic and environmentally hazardous compounds. These substances not only lead to ecological harm but also disrupt the natural equilibrium of ecosystems. Consequently, in recent

Antifouling Coatings Inspired by Biological Templates

Macromolecular Rapid Communications
AbstractSurface fouling is a major concern in health care, marine industry, and water purification plants. Polymeric coatings are traditionally utilized to reduce the attachment of foulants on a surface, however low density and thickness of polymer brushes formed by surface initiated polymerization methods, surface exhaustion by continuous exposure to ...

Fractionation‐Free Protein Corona Quantification Through Synchrotron‐Based Small‐Angle X‐ray Scattering

Small Methods, EarlyView.
A fractionation‐free SAXS approach quantifies protein corona formation on silica nanoparticles under native conditions. By deconvoluting scattering from free and bound proteins, adsorbed mass is directly determined in simple and complex media. The method resolves adsorption regimes and thermodynamics, establishing non‐invasive, in situ characterization
