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

Research Strategies to Develop Environmentally Friendly Marine Antifouling Coatings

Marine Drugs, 2020
There are a large number of fouling organisms in the ocean, which easily attach to the surface of ships, oil platforms and breeding facilities, corrode the surface of equipment, accelerate the aging of equipment, affect the stability and safety of marine

Modified tannin extracted from black wattle tree as an environmentally friendly antifouling pigment [PDF]

, 2015
The use of modified black wattle tannin as an antifouling pigment is reported in this work. A mixture of tannin adsorbed in activated carbon (soluble fraction of tannin) and low soluble fraction of tannin was used as an antifouling pigment.

Nanostructured Copper Selenide Coatings for Antifouling Applications

Polymers, 2023
The accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae, or small animals on wet surfaces that have a mechanical function causes biofouling, which can result in structural or other functional deficiencies. The maritime shipping industry must constantly manage biofouling to optimize operational performance, which is a common and long-lasting problem.

A Real-Time Antifouling Multivalent Aptamer Platform for Wash-Free Electrochemical Detection of Low-Abundance Biomarkers in Human Plasma. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Detection of low‐abundance proteins at the point‐of‐care is key for early detection and real‐time monitoring. The clinical translation of such assays is hindered by biofouling, matrix variability, and signal instability. RT‐MagMAp assay overcomes these challenges and enables precise protein quantification in human plasma using a hierarchical assembly ...

Antifouling Performance and Sustained Release Behavior of Ethanol Extract from the Root of Stellera chamaejasme

Crystals, 2023
Antifouling substances play a crucial role in inhibiting fouling and adhesion due to their broad-spectrum and non-toxic advantages. Nevertheless, the excessive release of the antifouling agents shortens the service life of the antifouling coating.
