Evaluation of natural resveratrol multimers as marine antifoulants

Biofouling, 2023
In the current study we investigate the antifouling potential of three polyphenolic resveratrol multimers (-)-hopeaphenol, vaticanol B and vatalbinoside A, isolated from two species of Anisoptera found in the Papua New Guinean rainforest. The compounds were evaluated against the growth and settlement of eight marine microfoulers and against the ...

Surficial N+ Charge Density as Key Factor for Inhibition of Pseudomonas Biofilm Formation in Non‐Leaching Quaternary Ammonium‐Modified Polydimethylsiloxane Coatings

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 14, 15 April 2026.
Biological fouling threatens marine ecosystems and infrastructures, demanding sustainable solutions. We designed PDMS materials functionalized with quaternary ammonium‐based silanes that inhibit biofilm formation of a highly resilient Gram‐negative Pseudomonas strain.

One Step Forward towards the Development of Eco-Friendly Antifouling Coatings: Immobilization of a Sulfated Marine-Inspired Compound

Marine Drugs, 2020
Marine biofouling represents a global economic and ecological challenge and few eco-friendly antifouling agents are available. The aim of this work was to establish the proof of concept that a recently synthesized nature-inspired compound (gallic acid ...

Is Young's Modulus a Critical Coating Property Determining Fouling‐Release Performance of Marine Coatings?

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 7, 8 April 2026.
The release of foulers from protective marine coatings is determined by several interrelated material properties, including the strength of Young's modulus, the flexibility of chain segments, the surface free energy, and the magnitude of hydrodynamic stress.

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 ...
