The development of a marine antifouling system using environmentally acceptable and naturally occurring products

, 2008
Due to legislative pressures and the recent ban of trybutyl tin, alternative environmentally acceptable ship hull antifouling systems are required. This thesis uses a multidisciplinary approach to combine two disparate areas of research namely marine ...

Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembly Marine Antifouling Coating of Phenol Absorbed by Polyvinylpyrrolidone Anchored on Stainless Steel Surfaces

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Marine biofouling is a major problem that contributes to the failure of man-made marine structures. Conventional marine antifouling coatings that release heavy metal ions for antimicrobial purposes are no longer in line with today’s environmental issues.

Novel Zwitterionic Polydopamine Nanofiller‐Reinforced Hybrid Membranes With Superior Antifouling Performance for Wastewater Treatment

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work reports one‐pot synthesized novel zwitterionic polydopamine‐silica (ZSiPDA) nanofillers for fabricating PES hybrid ultrafiltration membranes with enhanced hydrophilicity, permeability, and antifouling performance. The optimized membrane achieved over 91% humic acid removal and showed strong potential for municipal wastewater treatment.

Evaluation of dihydrooroidin as an antifouling additive in marine paint [PDF]

International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2009
Methods used to deter biofouling of underwater structures and marine vessels present a serious environmental issue and are both problematic and costly for government and commercial marine vessels worldwide. Current antifouling methods include compounds that are toxic to aquatic wildlife and marine ecosystems.

Sediment‐Resistant Marine Antifouling Coating Based on Amphiphilic Copolymer Brushes Bearing Sulfobetaine and Isobornyl Pendants

Advanced Materials Interfaces
For marine antifouling coatings to be practically useful, resistance to both marine fouling organisms and inorganic marine sediments is essential. Amphiphilic copolymer coatings, which integrate hydrophilic and hydrophobic components, are known to impart

Eco-efficient synthesis of cinnamic-compounds as antifouling additives for marine coatings

Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment
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.

Integrated Capsaicin‐Functionalized Superhydrophobic Photothermal Coating for Sustainable Antifouling Control at the Air‐Seawater Interface

Small, EarlyView.
An integrated capsaicin‐functionalized superhydrophobic photothermal coating combines covalently immobilized bioactive functionality and Cassie‐state anti‐adhesion with CNT‐enabled solar heating. This dual‐mode strategy passively suppresses fouling in the dark and promotes photothermal inactivation and detachment under sunlight, delivering broad ...
