Antifouling marine concrete [PDF]

OCEAN 75 Conference, 1980
Various toxic agents were evaluated as to their capability to prevent or inhibit the attachment of marine fouling organisms to concrete for OTEC plants. Creosote and bis-(tri-n-butyltin) oxide (TBTO) were impregnated into porous aggregate which was used in making concrete.

Amphiphilic Alginates for Marine Antifouling Applications [PDF]

Biomacromolecules, 2018
Amphiphilic polymers are promising candidates for novel fouling-release coatings for marine applications. We grafted amphiphilic alginates with fluorinated side chains to glass and silicon substrates and characterized the obtained films by contact angle goniometry, spectroscopic ellipsometry, XPS, and ATR-FTIR.

Discovery, Yield Improvement, and Application in Marine Coatings of Potent Antifouling Compounds Albofungins Targeting Multiple Fouling Organisms

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Marine biofouling caused huge economic losses of maritime industries. We aim to develop high-efficient, less-toxic, and cost-effective antifoulants to solve the problems of biofouling.

Eco-friendly polysaccharide coatings for antifouling and drag-reduction and potential application for marine devices

Friction, 2023
Traditional antifouling agents usually have a certain toxic effect on marine environments and non-target organisms. In this study, Dictyophora indusiata polysaccharide (DIP) was applied as a natural antifouling surface modifier to prepare the surface ...

Synthetic Analogue of Butenolide as an Antifouling Agent

Marine Drugs, 2021
Butenolide derivatives have the potential to be effective and environmentally friendly antifouling agents. In the present study, a butenolide derivative was structurally modified into Boc-butenolide to increase its melting point and remove its foul smell.

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.
