Growth of marine biofilms and macrofouling organisms on biocide-infused, 3D-printed thermoplastics
3D printing has become widely used to rapidly prototype and manufacture novel or bespoke objects or replacement components in a wide range of marine industries, engineering, and research.

ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Eco-efficient synthesis of cinnamic-compounds as antifouling additives for marine coatings
Marine pollution in ports caused by biocides-based antifouling paints is a growing problem worldwide. In this paper we present a new sustainable alternative to reduce the use of copper and booster biocides in marine antifouling paints.

Abstract Integrating the attention‐based view with the strategic leadership interfaces perspective, we propose a theoretical model of situational urgency mechanisms influencing the allocation of CEOs' attention towards responsive actions. Specifically, we theorize upon the role of humility, which leads CEOs towards embracing interfaces and makes them ...

Ionic–Bionic Interfaces: Advancing Iontronic Strategies for Bioelectronic Sensing and Therapy
Ionic–bionic interfaces for bioelectronics leverage ions as multifunctional mediators that combine mechanical compliance, ionic and electronic functionalities, and therapeutic effects. These systems offer real‐time biosignal transduction, effective wound dressing, responsive drug delivery, and seamless interaction between soft tissues and electronic ...

By encapsulating industrially relevant fabrics with dynamic imine networks, we show that the resulting composites exhibit exceptional oil absorbtion capability and chemical recyclability. It is poised for sustainable oil spill cleanup. ABSTRACT The development of high‐performance sorbents for oil spill remediation is highly desirable, which now calls ...

Stuck on Glass: A Review of Polymer and Polymer Nanoparticle Composite Coatings in Glass Technology
Representation of the different regions during the withdrawal stage of dip coating. As the substrate is pulled upward out of the coating solution, the solution is either dragged up with it by surface forces or falls back into the container from gravitational forces.

Evaluation of natural resveratrol multimers as marine antifoulants
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 ...
