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

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 …

The imminent ban of environmentally harmful tributyltin (TBT)-based paint products has
been the cause of a major change in the antifouling paint industry. In the past decade …

The main objective of this review is to describe some of the important topics related to the
use of marine and protective coatings for anticorrosive purposes. In this context,“protective” …

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 …

Biofouling is a common problem, has serious impact on the biomedical applications and
maritime activities by human beings, and developing eco-friendly antifouling coatings is the …

Adhesion of marine fouling organisms on artificial surfaces such as ship hulls causes many
problems, including extra energy consumption, high maintenance costs, and increased …

Biofouling is a complex, dynamic problem that globally impacts both the economy and
environment. Interdisciplinary research in marine biology, polymer science, and engineering …

Traditional antifouling coatings are generally based on a single antifouling mechanism,
which can hardly meet the needs of different occasions. Here, a single “kill–resist–renew …
