Biological activities of aqueous and organic extracts from tropical marine sponges [PDF]

open access: yes, 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]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesMolecules, 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

open access: yesMaterials & 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.

On the importance of antifouling coatings regarding ship resistance and powering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper aims to introduce one of the latest investigations on development of marine antifouling coatings and also to demonstrate the importance of the type of antifouling coatings on fouling accumulation and ship resistance/powering.

Bioaccumulation surveillance in Milford Haven Waterway [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 -

Radical‐Mediated, Substrate‐Independent Fabrication of Hybrid Solid–Hydrogel Materials With Tunable Crosslinking: An Initiator‐ and Crosslinker‐Free Approach

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Phase‐Change‐Activated Slippery Organogel Composite for All‐in‐One Anti‐Corrosion, Antifouling, and Self‐Cleaning

open access: yesENERGY &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

open access: yesMarine 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.

Disturbance frequency directs microbial community succession in marine biofilms exposed to shear

open access: yesmSphere, 2023
Marine biofilm growth poses significant challenges across marine industries (“biofouling”). Understanding the microbial communities involved in biofouling processes is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies.
