"Omics" Techniques Used in Marine Biofouling Studies. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 Biofouling is the growth of organisms on wetted surfaces. Biofouling includes micro- (bacteria and unicellular algae) and macrofouling (mussels, barnacles, tube worms, bryozoans, etc.) and is a major problem for industries. However, the settlement and growth of some biofouling species, like oysters and corals, can be desirable. Thus, it is important to

The Role of Natural and Synthetic Flavonoids in the Prevention of Marine Biofouling [PDF]
Marine DrugsMarine biofouling is a major concern for the maritime industry, environment, and human health. Biocides which are currently used in marine coatings to prevent this phenomenon are toxic to the marine environment, and therefore a search for antifoulants ...

Perceiving and Countering Marine Biofouling: Structure, Forces, and Processes at Surfaces in Sea Water Across the Length Scales. [PDF]
LangmuirIn marine industries, severe economic losses are caused by accumulating organisms on surfaces in biofouling processes. Establishing a universal and nontoxic protocol to eliminate biofouling has been a notoriously difficult task due to the complexity of the marine organisms’ interactions with surfaces and the chemical, mechanical, and morphological ...

A Robust Natural Rubber–Polyzwitterion Composite Hydrogel for Highly Enhanced Marine Anti-Biofouling [PDF]
GelsPolyzwitterion (PZW) hydrogel has excellent marine anti-biofouling performance, but it is difficult to effectively work for a long time in natural seawater due to its weak mechanical strength.
