Modern approaches to marine antifouling coatings [PDF]

Surface and Coatings Technology, 2006
Marine structures such as platforms, jetties and ship hulls are subject to diverse and severe biofouling. Methods for inhibiting both organic and inorganic growth on wetted substrates are varied but most antifouling systems take the form of protective coatings.

Study on the application of ultrasonic wave in the removal of microbiofouling on PMMA surface

Biosurface and Biotribology, 2021
Ultrasound has been used for antifouling on the surface of medical devices or food utensils, but it is rarely applied in marine anti‐biofouling on underwater instruments.

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 17, 26 February 2026.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.

Marine pollution from antifouling paint particles

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2010
Antifouling paint particles (APP) are generated during the maintenance of boats and are shed from abandoned structures and grounded ships. Although they afford a highly visible, colourful reflection of contamination in the vicinity of the source, little systematic study has been undertaken regarding the distribution, composition and effects of APP in ...

Cross-Linked Polyelectrolyte Multilayers for Marine Antifouling Applications

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2013
A polyionic multilayer film was fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) sequential deposition followed by cross-linking under mild conditions on a substrate surface to inhibit marine fouling. A novel polyanion, featuring methyl ester groups for an easy cross-linking was used as a generic solution for stabilization of LbL films in a harsh environment ...

Biomimetic Ion‐Orchestrated Hierarchical Armored Hydrogel Coating for Robust and Multifunctional Surface Protection

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 17, 26 February 2026.
Inspired by the skin‐toughening mechanism of marine sponges, an ion‐orchestrated structural engineering strategy is proposed to regulate the surface microstructure of hydrogel coatings, enabling the in situ formation of a robust armor layer that enhances mechanical integrity and provides multifunctional protection by suppressing fouling attachment and ...
