Biological activities of aqueous and organic extracts from tropical marine sponges [PDF]
, 2010 We report on screening tests of 66 extracts obtained from 35 marine sponge species from the Caribbean Sea (Curaçao) and from eight species from the Great Barrier Reef (Lizard Island). Extracts were prepared in aqueous and organic solvents and were tested

The interaction of marine fouling organisms with topography of varied scale and geometry: a review [PDF]
, 2013 Many studies have examined the effects of surface topography on the settlement behaviour of marine organisms and this article reviews these investigations with more emphasis on the effects of topography scale. It has been observed that macro topographies

Adsorption of Mussel Protein on Polymer Antifouling Membranes: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Molecules, 2021 Biofouling is one of the most difficult problems in the field of marine engineering. In this work, molecular dynamics simulation was used to study the adsorption process of mussel protein on the surface of two antifouling films—hydrophilic film and ...

Recent advances in emerging integrated antifouling and anticorrosion coatings
Materials & Design, 2022 With the rapid development of the marine industry, biofouling and surface corrosion of underwater equipment have become a major issue. Traditional antifouling or anticorrosion coatings with a single function cannot meet the current requirements.

Bioaccumulation surveillance in Milford Haven Waterway [PDF]
, 2011 Biomonitoring of contaminants (metals, organotins, PAHs, PCBs) was carried out along the Milford Haven Waterway (MHW) and at a reference site in the Tywi Estuary during 2007-2008. The species used as bioindicators encompass a variety of uptake routes -

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work introduces a substrate‐independent, reagent‐free plasma strategy that forms radical‐rich interlayers for covalent hydrogel attachment without initiators or crosslinkers. The long‐lived radicals drive in situ gelation, creating robust, cytocompatible hybrid solid–hydrogel constructs across diverse substrates.

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.A super‐slippery liquid‐infused composite organogel is engineered by localized interfacial grafting between hydrogel and oleogel networks, endowing the coating with a durable, multifunctional marine‐protective interface. Dynamic antifouling surfaces have emerged as a promising alternative, offering the potential for eco‐friendly and high‐performance ...

Antifouling Napyradiomycins from Marine-Derived Actinomycetes Streptomyces aculeolatus
Marine Drugs, 2020 The undesired attachment of micro and macroorganisms on water-immersed surfaces, known as marine biofouling, results in severe prevention and maintenance costs (billions €/year) for aquaculture, shipping and other industries that rely on coastal and off-shore infrastructures.
