Natural polyketide 6-pentyl-2H-pyrone-2-one and its synthetic analogues efficiently prevent marine biofouling

Biofouling (Print), 2021
Biofouling is a widespread phenomenon in oceans worldwide. With increasing human development and activities in open and coastal waters, and due to the environmental impact of AF organotins and copper-based paint, the demand for nontoxic antifouling (AF ...

Progress in anti-biofouling materials and coatings for the marine environment.

Journal of Environmental Science
Marine biological fouling typically refers to the phenomenon of bacteria, algae, barnacles and other organisms attached to marine facilities, growing and reproducting.

Contact Angle Hysteresis, Adhesion, and Marine Biofouling

Langmuir, 2004
Adhesive 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 ...

Marine Biofouling on Fish Farms and Its Remediation

2004
The fish farming industry suffers significantly from the effects of biofouling. The fouling of cages and netting, which is costly to remove, is detrimental to fish health and yield and can cause equipment failure. With rapid expansion of the aquaculture industry, coupled with the tightening of legislation on the use of antifouling biocides, the ...

Marine Biofouling Resistance of Polyurethane with Biodegradation and Hydrolyzation

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2014
We have prepared polyurethane with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) as the segments of the main chain and poly(triisopropylsilyl acrylate) (PTIPSA) as the side chains by a combination of radical polymerization and a condensation reaction. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation studies show that polyurethane can degrade in the presence of enzyme and the

Toward the Application of Graphene for Combating Marine Biofouling

Advanced Sustainable Systems, 2020
The discovery of graphene has brought great innovations to materials science. Since tributyltin antifouling coatings were banned worldwide in 2008, the development of green antifouling coatings has become necessary.

The role of “inert” surface chemistry in marine biofouling prevention

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2010
The settlement and colonization of marine organisms on submerged man-made surfaces is a major economic problem for many marine industries. The most apparent detrimental effects of biofouling are increased fuel consumption of ships, clogging of membranes and heat exchangers, disabled underwater sensors, and growth of biofoulers in aquaculture systems ...

Anti-biofouling marine diterpenoids from Okinawan soft corals

Biofouling (Print)
Soft corals produce a diverse range of natural products with pharmaceutical potential, such as antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects. The Alcyoniidae family, particularly the genera Sarcophyton and Sinularia, is rich in bioactive terpenoids ...

Marine biofouling: a sticky problem.

Biologist (London, England), 2002
Organisms that colonise underwater surfaces, such as barnacle larvae and spores of algae, use a diverse array of biological 'glues' to provide both temporary and more permanent adhesion. The practical consequence of colonisation by these organisms is biofouling - something that has plagued mariners for years - causing increased drag and, in extreme ...

Behavioural effects of biofouling in a marine copepod

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2000
The impact of biofouling by the filamentous bacteria Leucothrix mucor upon the body density and swimming behaviour of the harpacticoid copepod Tigriopus brevicornis was investigated. Biofouled individuals had a greater body density than non-fouled individuals.
