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 ...

Slippery Alkoxysilane Coatings for Antifouling Applications [PDF]
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 ...
