Antifouling properties of papain-based antifouling coatings
Applied Surface Science, 2015 The aim of this work is to study the antifouling performance and water uptake behaviour of coatings formulated with papain (an environmentally friendly pigment). Antifouling coatings have been formulated using rosin (natural resin) as matrix and papain adsorbed in activated carbon as pigment.

The Effect of Grooming on Five Commercial Antifouling Coatings
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The majority of ships are coated with antifouling paint. These coatings can fail to completely protect from fouling due to mismatches between paint type and duty cycle, the presence of biocide tolerant fouling organisms, improperly applied, old or ...

Bacterial Antifouling Characteristics of Helicene—Graphene Films
Nanomaterials, 2021 Herein, we describe interfacially-assembled [7]helicene films that were deposited on graphene monolayer using the Langmuir-Schaefer deposition by utilizing the interactions of nonplanar (helicene) and planar (graphene) π–π interactions as functional ...

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

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.
