Green Synthesis of TiO₂ Nanoparticles Using Natural Marine Extracts for Antifouling Activity

Marine Drugs, 2023
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized via a novel eco-friendly green chemistry approach using marine natural extracts of two red algae (Bostrychia tenella and Laurencia obtusa), a green alga (Halimeda tuna), and a brown alga (Sargassum ...

Antifouling Technology Trends in Marine Environmental Protection [PDF]

Journal of Bionic Engineering, 2021
AbstractMarine fouling is a worldwide problem, which is harmful to the global marine ecological environment and economic benefits. The traditional antifouling strategy usually uses toxic antifouling agents, which gradually exposes a serious environmental problem. Therefore, green, long-term, broad-spectrum and eco-friendly antifouling technologies have

Research Progress in Environmentally Friendly Natural Antifouling Agents and Their Antifouling Mechanisms [PDF]

Cailiao Baohu
Marine biofouling is a global challenge that constrains the sustainable development of maritime industries. Conventional antifouling coatings rely on toxic biocides such as tributyltin (TBT) and copper，there by posing severe threats to marine ecosystems.

Antifouling Performance of Carbon-Based Coatings for Marine Applications: A Systematic Review

Antibiotics, 2022
Although carbon materials are widely used in surface engineering, particularly graphene (GP) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the application of these nanocomposites for the development of antibiofilm marine surfaces is still poorly documented.

Evaluation of natural resveratrol multimers as marine antifoulants

Biofouling, 2023
In the current study we investigate the antifouling potential of three polyphenolic resveratrol multimers (-)-hopeaphenol, vaticanol B and vatalbinoside A, isolated from two species of Anisoptera found in the Papua New Guinean rainforest. The compounds were evaluated against the growth and settlement of eight marine microfoulers and against the ...

Using Conducting Polymers as Active Agents for Marine Antifouling Paints [PDF]

Materials Research, 2015
Antifouling coatings were prepared with paints containing polyaniline (PAni) and derivatives as active pigment, and evaluated by antifouling performance on metallic or polyvinyl chloride substrates. The paints, PAni and its derivatives were characterized

Using Virtual AChE Homology Screening to Identify Small Molecules With the Ability to Inhibit Marine Biofouling

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The search for effective yet environmentally friendly strategies to prevent marine biofouling is hampered by the large taxonomic diversity amongst fouling organisms and a lack of well-defined conserved molecular targets.
