Durable Biofouling‐Resistant Coated Fabric Based on Aerogel/Polyurethane for Marine Applications

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 5, May 2026.
A multilayer composite protective fabric (PUC‐CME/KF) is developed by integrating carboxymethyl chitosan/coral extract aerogel and capsaicin‐loaded polyurethane onto a knitted substrate. The material exhibits exceptional extensibility (1963% elongation at break) and sustained capsaicin release.
