Marine biofouling has negatively affected human sailing since ancient times. Traditional
antifouling coatings were banned worldwide in 2003 due to their toxicity towards nontarget …

In this review, a brief synopsis of superhydrophobicity (ie extreme non-wettability) and its
implications on marine fouling are presented. A short overview of wettability and recent …

The authors present a general overview of marine paints, paying particular attention to the
case of antifouling paints. After locating these paints in the anticorrosive protection systems …

Large amounts of actual data concerning corrosion of both metals and nonmetals under
actual ocean site conditions has been organized herein. Factors causing deterioration of …

Investigations on the adhesion of a diverse range of biological systems including proteins,
tissues, microbes, algae and invertebrates all indicate that minimal long-term adhesion is …

Examination of the three‐dimensional structure of periphyton communities through time
indicated that their microsuccession is analogous to higher plant succession. The …

The effects of benthic organisms on the physical properties of granular substrata are well
documented. The range of effects has been presented in HB Moore (1931, 1939), Schwartz …

Biofilm accumulation on a surface is the net result of several physical, chemical, and
biological processes. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of substrate …

In this paper we report on the effect of surface wettability on surface selection and adhesion
properties of settled (adhered) spores of the biofouling marine alga Enteromorpha and cells …

The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is an expanding and dynamic science.
It is no surprise that the breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with …
