Functional polymer materials for modern marine biofouling control [PDF]

Progress in Polymer Science, 2022
Marine biofouling is a well-known massive problem: within the shortest time, ship hulls and other man-made submerged surfaces are inevitably populated by various marine organisms. Marine biofouling causes severe economic and environmental problems. Thus,

Biofouling in photobioreactors for marine microalgae

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2017
The economic and/or energetic feasibility of processes based on using microalgae biomass requires an efficient cultivation system. In photobioreactors (PBRs), the adhesion of microalgae to the transparent PBR surfaces leads to biofouling and reduces the solar radiation penetrating the PBR.

Inhibition of biofouling by marine microorganisms and their metabolites

Biofouling, 2006
Development of microbial biofilms and the recruitment of propagules on the surfaces of man-made structures in the marine environment cause serious problems for the navies and for marine industries around the world. Current antifouling technology is based on the application of toxic substances that can be harmful to the natural environment.

Degradable Vinyl Polymers for Combating Marine Biofouling

Accounts of Chemical Research, 2022
Marine organisms such as barnacle larvae and spores of algae adhere to underwater surfaces leading to marine biofouling. This phenomenon has numerous adverse impacts on marine industries and maritime activities. Due to the diversity of fouling organisms and the complexity of the marine environment, it is a huge challenge to combat marine biofouling ...

Degradable polyurethane for marine anti-biofouling

Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 2013
Degradable polyurethane (PU) with copolyester oligomer consisting of ε-caprolactone (CL) and glycolide (GA) as the soft segments has been prepared by a combination of ring-opening polymerization and condensation reaction. Enzymatic and hydrolytic degradation experiments demonstrate that the PU can degrade in seawater. Such a polyurethane exhibit a more

A Biochemical Mechanism for Marine Biofouling

OCEANS 81, 1981
Microbial 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.
