Biofouling: lessons from nature [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2012 Biofouling is generally undesirable for many applications. An overview of the medical, marine and industrial fields susceptible to fouling is presented. Two types of fouling include biofouling from organism colonization and inorganic fouling from non-living particles. Nature offers many solutions to control fouling through various physical and chemical

Integrated approach for biofouling control
Water Science and Technology, 2010 Despite extensive research efforts, past and present strategies to control biofouling problems in spiral-wound nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes have not been successful under all circumstances. Gaining insight in the biofouling process is a first necessity.

Techniques for the Quantification of Biofouling.
, 2010 For this chapter, we have collated from the authors in this book approaches and techniques for the quantification and qualification of biofouling and have presented most of it in referenced tabular form to permit easy access to the information (Table 22.1). There are also two more thorough sections neither of which has been published before: one on the

The Application of UVC Used in Synergy with Surface Material to Prevent Marine Biofouling
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Biofouling is problematic for the shipping industry and can lead to functional and financial setbacks. One possible means of biofouling prevention is the use of ultraviolet-C (UVC) light.
