About antifouling solutions to protect ship’s hull

Annals of "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi: Fascicle XI Shipbuilding
Antifouling solutions are essential for protecting ship hulls from marine organisms like algae, barnacles, and molluscs, which can slow down the ship and increase fuel consumption.

Management of the Marine Pest Undaria pinnatifida at a High Value Marine Protected Area

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Controlling the invasive species Undaria pinnatifida remains a worldwide issue with very few successful eradications reported. Following the detection of U. pinnatifida within a Marine Protected Area in Victoria, Australia, in 2017, an ongoing management program was implemented, with monitoring occurring until 2022.

Trophic Niche Overlap Between the Invasive Crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould, 1841) and Native Crab Species in the Southwest Atlantic Coast

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of exotic species is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss in aquatic ecosystems. The Harris mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii, native to the Atlantic coast of North America, was recorded in the Patos Lagoon estuary (southern Brazil) in the 1980s, likely introduced via ballast water. However, the effects of this invader

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.

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.

Numerical Modelling of the Effects of Biofouling on Ship Resistance and Propulsion Characteristics

, 2018
Uvod Obraštanje je nakupljanje mikroorganizama, biljaka, algi ili životinja na površinama koje su u kontaktu s vodom te predstavlja rastući problem s ekonomskog, ali i ekološkog stajališta. Iako je obraštanje prisutno u mnogim različitim područjima, pomorska industrija je najviše pogođena prisutnošću i rastom organizama. Prisutnost raznih organizama na
