It provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the field, including the development of novel self-polishing anti-fouling coatings, low surface energy coatings, biomimetic coatings, and nanostructured coatings, each leveraging distinct anti-fouling mechanisms.
Brief future research directions and challenges are also discussed in the end, and we expect that this review would boost the development of marine antifouling technologies. Selim M S, El-safty S A, Shenashen M A. Progress in bio-mimetic leverages for marine antifouling using nanocomposite coatings.
The traditional antifouling strategy usually uses toxic antifouling agents, which gradually exposes a serious environmental problem. Therefore, green, long-term, broad-spectrum and eco-friendly antifouling technologies have been the main target of engineers and researchers.
Existing antifouling and anti-corrosion coating technologies are continuously evolving, with research mainly focusing on low-surface-energy coatings, biomimetic antifouling coatings, conductive antifouling coatings, and photocatalytic coatings.
Bionic antifouling technologies mainly include the simulated shark skin, whale skin, dolphin skin, coral tentacles, lotus leaves and other biology structures. Brief future research directions and challenges are also discussed in the end, and we expect that this review would boost the development of marine antifouling technologies.
Therefore, green, long-term, broad-spectrum and eco-friendly antifouling technologies have been the main target of engineers and researchers. In recent years, many eco-friendly antifouling technologies with broad application prospects have been developed based on the low toxicity and non-toxicity antifouling agents and materials.
