Research Progress on New Environmentally Friendly Antifouling Coatings in Marine Settings: A Review
Biomimetics, 2023 Any equipment submerged in the ocean will have its surface attacked by fouling organisms, which can cause serious damage. Traditional antifouling coatings contain heavy metal ions, which also have a detrimental effect on the marine ecological environment

Ecofriendly Antifouling Marine Coatings
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2015 Foul release coatings were first used on vessels in the early 1990s, but despite early excitement about the technology, they have had a prolonged modest market share due to high cost and poorer performance when compared to biocidal marine coatings. Recently, these coatings are experiencing a renaissance.

Slippery Alkoxysilane Coatings for Antifouling Applications
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2023 Herein, we report the wettability and antifouling behavior of a range of different siloxane coatings on plastic and glass substrates. The films investigated are prepared using trimethoxysilane precursors with different alkyl chain lengths (1-18 C atoms) in order to study how the nature of the hydrophobic group affects the different parameters used to ...

Quantifying the ‘implementation gap’ for antifouling coatings [PDF]
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2016 Abstract Fouling is a chronic problem in many heat transfer systems and leads to regular cleaning of heat exchangers. Antifouling coatings are one mitigation option: the financial attractiveness of installing a coated exchanger depends on trade-offs between capital and operating costs over the lifetime of the unit. Such considerations effectively set

Synthetic Analogue of Butenolide as an Antifouling Agent
Marine Drugs, 2021 Butenolide derivatives have the potential to be effective and environmentally friendly antifouling agents. In the present study, a butenolide derivative was structurally modified into Boc-butenolide to increase its melting point and remove its foul smell.

Quaternary Ammonium “Tannate” for Antifouling Coatings [PDF]
Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2012 L'accumulation indésirable d'une grande variété d'organismes marins (salissures biologiques) sur les coques de navires peut entraîner une augmentation significative des coûts, principalement par une consommation accrue de carburant pour maintenir la vitesse de croisière. Généralement, ces revêtements ont des composés bioactifs, appelés biocides.
