Marine biofouling is a global problem today. High efficiency and eco-friendly antifouling
systems are in pressing need. In recent years, we have proposed the concept of dynamic …

Marine resources and industry have become one of the most important pillars in economic
development all over the world. However, corrosion of materials is always the most serious …

Regeneration of antifouling polymer surfaces after contamination or damage is an important
issue, especially in complex marine environments. Here, inspired by the self-renewal of silyl …

“From the nature, for the nature” is an instructive strategy to develop environment-friendly
antifouling coatings. In this work, bio-sourced poly (lactic acid)-based polyurethane with …

Persistent protein resistance is critical for marine antibiofouling. We have prepared
copolymer of 2-methylene-1, 3-dioxepane (MDO), tertiary carboxybetaine ester (TCB), and 7 …

RAFT dispersion polymerization of a prototypical methacrylic monomer, methyl methacrylate
(MMA), is performed in mineral oil using various poly (lauryl methacrylate)(PLMA) …

Since the use of organotin antifouling paints was prohibited in 2003, researchers have
endeavored to develop novel environment-friendly marine antifouling coatings. We report …

Environmental concerns about the use of toxic antifoulants have increased the demand to
develop novel, environmentally-friendly antifouling materials. Silicone coatings are currently …

Being biodegradable and eco-friendly, polyesters are promising in marine anti-biofouling.
However, the slow degradation and poor adhesion limit their applications. In the present …
