Laser Spectroscopy for Marine Biofouling Analysis
Global Oceans 2020: Singapore – U.S. Gulf Coast, 2020In the present study, femtosecond Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy LIBS technique has been used to investigate the growth of biofouling on Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) panels submerged in the Indian Ocean for various stages of growth. The coupons were suspended in the Indian Ocean at a depth of 1m at a distance of 480 m from the shoreline.

Contact Angle Hysteresis, Adhesion, and Marine Biofouling
Langmuir, 2004Adhesive and marine biofouling release properties of coatings containing surface-oriented perfluoroalkyl groups were investigated. These coatings were prepared by cross-linking a copolymer of 1H,1H,2H,2H-heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate and acrylic acid with a copolymer of poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline) and methyl methacrylate at different molar ratios ...

Parylene F coatings for combating marine biofouling
Materials Letters, 2021Abstract Parylene is an excellent barrier material used widely in many fields. In this work, parylene F was deposited on a polydimethylsiloxane substrate via chemical vapor deposition. We found that parylene F coatings could resist adhesion of bacteria and algae. The wrinkled surface topography, low surface free energy, and negative surface charge of

Marine and Industrial Biofouling
2009Biofouling is a costly problem, and it is encountered in a wide spectrum of technical systems, ranging from the shipping industry, power industry, water purification, automobile industry, paint and pharmaceuticals, to the microelectronics and food industries. Micro- and macroorganisms attach to surfaces and accumulate there, forming biofilms that cause

Noncontact Measurement of Marine Biofouling Roughness
Marine Technology and SNAME News, 2004The energy loss caused by biofouling is costing the marine operations millions of dollars because of lack of complete understanding of their roughness characteristics. Marine biofouling roughness is generally randomly distributed in space, and also varies in shape and texture.

A Biochemical Mechanism for Marine Biofouling
OCEANS 81, 1981Microbial communities form rapidly on all surfaces exposed to seawater. Microbial fouling is related to a number of problems in marine technology. Corrosion of metal structures in the ocean is affected by microbial films. In addition, microbial fouling induces the settlement of macrofouling organisms.

Biofouling in Marine and Offshore
Offshore Technology Conference, 2013Abstract This presentation will provide an introduction into internationally and nationally regulated biofouling issues. The risk for spread of invasive aquatic species (IAS) via fouling from ship's hulls / other under water structures or ballast water is being focused upon more and more.

Prevention of marine biofouling using natural compounds from marine organisms
2000All surfaces that are submerged in the sea rapidly become covered by a biofilm. This process, called biofouling, has substantial economic consequences. Paints containing tri-butyl-tin (TBT) and copper compounds are used to protect marine structures by reducing biofouling. However, these compounds have damaging effects on the marine environment, as they

Mini-review: Inhibition of biofouling by marine microorganisms
Biofouling, 2013Any natural or artificial substratum exposed to seawater is quickly fouled by marine microorganisms and later by macrofouling species. Microfouling organisms on the surface of a substratum form heterogenic biofilms, which are composed of multiple species of heterotrophic bacteria, cyanobacteria, diatoms, protozoa and fungi.
