Marine biofouling profoundly influences marine industries and activities. It slows the speed
and increases the fuel consumption of ships, corrodes offshore platforms, and blocks …

“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 …

Poly (glycerol sebacate)(PGS), a biodegradable elastomer, has been extensively explored
in biomedical applications for its favorable mechanical properties and biocompatibility …

Amphiphilic methacrylate copolymers (Si-co-EF) containing polysiloxane (Si) and mixed
poly (oxyethylene)–perfluorohexyl (EF) side chains were synthesized with different …

Abstract Poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) elastomer coatings containing an amphiphilic
hydrolyzable diblock copolymer additive were prepared and their potential as marine …

Fouling release coatings generally consisting of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer
cannot renew their surface and exhibit poor antifouling ability under static conditions. In this …

As the utilization of degradable polymer coatings increased, the accompanying trade-off
between good degradability and high-efficiency antidiatom adhesion due to their …

Poly (ethyl ethylene phosphonate)-based methacrylic copolymers containing polysiloxane
methacrylate (SiMA) co-units are proposed as surface-active additives as alternative …

Silicone elastomer coatings have shown successful fouling release ability in recent years.
To further enhance the design of silicone coatings, it is necessary to fully understand the …
