Development of Antifouling Strategies for Marine Applications

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Marine biofouling is an undeniable challenge for aquatic systems since it is responsible for several environmental and ecological problems and economic losses. Several strategies have been developed to mitigate fouling-related issues in marine environments, including developing marine coatings using nanotechnology and biomimetic models, and ...

Partitioning of marine antifoulants in the marine environment

Science of The Total Environment, 2002
The partitioning behaviour of the organic biocides, Irgarol 1051 and diuron and two inorganic biocides (copper and zinc) was investigated using six sediments of differing physico-chemical properties collected from unimpacted sites along the south coast of England.

Antifouling enzymes and the biochemistry of marine settlement

Biotechnology Advances, 2008
Antifouling coatings are used extensively on marine vessels and constructions, but unfortunately they are found to pose a threat to the marine environment, notably due to content of metal-based biocides. Enzymes have repeatedly been proposed as an alternative to traditional antifouling compounds.

Marine antifouling from thin air

Biofouling, 2014
The dynamic relationship between the settlement behaviour of marine biota (cells, spores, larvae) and the longevity of an entrapped air layer (plastron) on submersed superhydrophobic surfaces was systematically investigated. Plastron lifetime decreased with increasing hydrophobic polymer loadings, and was correlated with the settlement rate of a range ...
