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 ...

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.

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

Antifouling properties of papain-based antifouling coatings
Applied Surface Science, 2015 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.
