Sea Anemone-Inspired Fluorosilicone Polyurethane Coating with Synergistic Low-Surface-Energy and Cationic Antibacterial Action for Static Antifouling

open access: yesMolecules
Conventional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based antifouling coatings, despite their inherent fouling-release capability, exhibit critically insufficient antifouling performance under static seawater conditions.
