Toward a Global Regime of Vessel Anti-Fouling [PDF]

, 2015
Vessel anti-fouling is key to the efficient operation of ships, and essential for effective control of invasive species introduced through international shipping. Anti-Fouling Systems, however, pose their own threats to marine environments.

Thermally Degradable Biocompatible Hydrogel as Transient Encapsulation Coating for Implantable Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biocompatible hydrogel coating with tissue‐like mechanics and reversible dissolution triggered by a mild, physiologically compatible temperature drop (≈37°C → ≈25°C) was developed for the transient encapsulation of implantable devices. The physically crosslinked methylcellulose, polyethylene glycol and polyacrilic acid (MC/PEG/PAA) hydrogel ...

New horizons in marine coatings [PDF]

, 2018
Marine biofouling is an increasing problem from both economic and environmental points of view in terms of increased resistance, increased fuel consumption, increased GHG emissions and transportation of harmful non-indigenous species. Marine coatings are

Antifouling coatings and ecological control in marinas

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2012
The progressive increase of boat tourism and the consequent development of marina activities gives rise to a series of problems related to safeguarding the natural environment. Therefore, there is a need for appropriate monitoring of port facilities and water quality, as well as the development of new technologies dealing with yachting activities ...

Beyond Transconductance: Cell‐Polymer Coupling Determines Fidelity in Action Potential Recording via Electrolyte‐Gated Polymer Transistors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High electrical performance alone does not guarantee efficient bioelectronic signal transduction. Despite excellent mixed ionic‐electronic conduction, recordings from cardiomyocytes reveal that p(g2T‐TT)‐based OECTs predominantly transduce field potential FP‐like signals due to weak cell‐polymer coupling.

Biolipid Film‐Fused Electrochemiluminescence for Multipurpose In Situ Bioassays

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An ECL‐emissive, membrane‐interactive scaffold was fabricated, and facilely fused with natural and non‐native phospholipids into multifactorial mimicries of cytomembranes and vesicles for in vitro representative membrane‐process probing. Such a biointerface‐based, state‐sensitive ECL paradigm not only pinpointed proximal phenomena, including channeling
