Marine biofouling is a well-known massive problem: within the shortest time, ship hulls and
other man-made submerged surfaces are inevitably populated by various marine …

There are a large number of fouling organisms in the ocean, which easily attach to the
surface of ships, oil platforms and breeding facilities, corrode the surface of equipment …

Progress in materials science is associated with the development of nanomaterials in terms
of energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and low-cost methods. Since the use of tributyltin …

Because of the environmental and economic casualties of biofouling on maritime navigation,
modern studies have been devoted toward formulating advanced nanoscale composites in …

Nanomaterials like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are established photocatalysts that are
well-known in a variety of functions. They can be applied in paint and coating as pigment …

The accumulation of marine organisms on ship hulls, such as microorganisms, barnacles,
and seaweeds, represents a global problem for maritime industries, with both economic and …

Two novel superhydrophobic nanocomposite series of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)
enriched with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and graphene oxide/boehmite nanorods (GO …

Superhydrophobic silicone fouling-release (FR) nanocomposite coatings have gained
considerable interest as an eco-friendly and economic solution to combat biofouling …

Antifouling (AF) nanocoatings made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are more cost-efficient
and eco-friendly substitutes for the already outlawed tributyltin-based coatings. Here, a …

A novel superhydrophobic series of silicone/β–MnO 2 nanorod composite was successfully
fabricated for marine fouling release (FR) coatings. We studied how the self-cleaning and …
