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

Interfacial Energy and Composition Controlled Self‐Stratification in Polyurethane Coatings

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study elucidates self‐stratification in polyurethane coatings driven by interfacial energies and composition‐dependent phase separation. Using XPS, SIMS, and Raman analyses, we reveal rapid formation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic layers and substrate‐dependent interfacial structures.

Investigation of Biofilm Formation on Air Cathodes with Quaternary Ammonium Compounds in Microbial Fuel Cells

Fermentation
The use of gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can improve their cell performance, but tends to cause fouling. In order to allow long-term stable operation, the search for antifouling methods is necessary.

Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry: Fundamental Principles, Diverse Applications, and the Latest Technological Frontiers

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The review examines the evolution of chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI‐MS), a technique developed in 1966 by Field and Munson. CI is a soft‐ionization method that produces more intense molecular ions with less fragmentation than electron ionization (EI).

Biomimetic strategies in antifouling coatings [PDF]

, 2014
Marine biofouling is the colonization of aquatic organisms on manmade structures such as ship hulls and platforms, and has been of major concern since the inception of naval fleets. The aim in modern ship coatings is primarily directed towards minimizing the hull roughness caused by biofouling, as a higher roughness leads to increased drag and ...

A Multifunctional Bioactive Nanoscale Coating Deposited by Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Polymerization of Peppermint Essential Oil

Small, EarlyView.
Atmospheric plasma polymerization transforms peppermint essential oil into ultrathin, substrate‐independent bioactive coatings with antioxidant, contact‐active antibacterial, and immunomodulatory functions. The coating disrupts Gram‐negative pathogens, potentiates prophylactic antibiotics, suppresses pro‐inflammatory signaling, and promotes M2 ...

A prospective randomised pilot study evaluating the safety of the novel LubriShield™ Foley catheter: a permanently coated indwelling urinary catheter

Scandinavian Journal of Urology
Objective: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are prevalent healthcare-associated infections, arising from biofilm-forming bacteria. This may be prevented by coating the catheter with an antifouling substance.

Transparent Antifouling Coatings

The present project aims at designing a transparent, antifouling coating for use on solar cells and sensors on underwater drones or unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV). Our vision of a product is based on existing self-polishing antifouling coating technology, in combination with new specialized raw materials and formulation principles.
