Enzyme-based antifouling coatings: a review

Biofouling, 2007
A systematic overview is presented of the literature that reports the antifouling (AF) protection of underwater structures via the action of enzymes. The overall aim of this review is to assess the state of the art of enzymatic AF technology, and to highlight the obstacles that have to be overcome for successful development of enzymatic AF coatings ...

Dual functional antifouling and bactericidal proteinaceous coating

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2023
Coatings with both anti-fouling and bactericidal functions are used in many fields. In this work, lysozyme (Lyso) and poly (2-Methylallyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) conjugate (Lyso-PMPC) is successfully designed and synthesized for the first time.

Biodegradable Antifouling Coating

MPWT 2019, 2019
Abstract Due to the regulations of toxic biocidal products in marine environments, the development of nontoxic antifouling (AF) coatings has become required. The development of nontoxic antifouling formulations implies the use of ingredients (such as: polymers, additives and pigments) that are devoid of toxicity towards marine ...

Antifouling Coatings from Glassy Polyelectrolyte Complex Films

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2023
Coatings that prevent or decrease fouling are sought for many applications, including those that inhibit the attachment of organisms in aquatic environments. To date, antifouling coatings have mostly followed design criteria assembled over decades: surfaces should be well/strongly hydrated, possess low net charge, and maintain a hydrophilic character ...

Silicones Containing Pendant Biocides for Antifouling Coatings

Biofouling, 2004
The preparation of biocide-incorporated silicone coatings for antifouling/fouling release applications is described. The biocide Triclosan (5-chloro-2-(2, 4-dichlorophenoxy) phenol) was modified with alkenyl moieties and incorporated into a silicone backbone through covalent bonds.

Coating polyvinylchloride surface for improved antifouling property

Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 2019
Antifouling surfaces are specifically crucial to cardiovascular applications. In this study, a polyvinylchloride (PVC) surface was modified by coating a biocompatible and hydrophilic polymer by a mild coating technique. The PVC surface was first activated and then functionalized, followed by coating with the polymer.

Antifouling Polymer Coatings for Bioactive Surfaces

Langmuir
Bioactive surfaces play a pivotal role in biomedical applications by enabling precise biological interactions through immobilized functional molecules. However, their performance is often hindered by nonspecific protein adsorption and cell adhesion.

Superhydrophobic Coating for Antifouling of Chinese Paintings

Langmuir, 2018
In the past 10 years, many studies on superhydrophobic (SH) papers have been reported. However, these works are rarely carried out on Chinese paintings. Compared with pure paper, the complexity of Chinese black ink and pigment, caused by including animal glue and fixatives allowing the nanoparticles to disperse in water, negatively affects the ...

Development of Marine Antifouling Coatings

2014
Antifouling coatings for underwater hulls are a very important topic in coating research. Effective hull coatings determine the performance factors including speed, fuel consumption, and weight of a vessel. Controlling fouling using an antifouling paint containing biocides is the most common way of keeping hulls as efficient as possible; however ...
