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.

Design and Application of Antifouling Bio-Coatings
PolymersAntifouling coatings stand out as one of the highly efficient ways to mitigate surface contamination. Traditional antifouling coatings have a major drawback: they rely on highly toxic and environmentally hazardous compounds. These substances not only lead to ecological harm but also disrupt the natural equilibrium of ecosystems. Consequently, in recent

Antifouling Coatings Inspired by Biological Templates. [PDF]
Macromol Rapid CommunAbstractSurface fouling is a major concern in health care, marine industry, and water purification plants. Polymeric coatings are traditionally utilized to reduce the attachment of foulants on a surface, however low density and thickness of polymer brushes formed by surface initiated polymerization methods, surface exhaustion by continuous exposure to ...
