Journal ArticleDOI
Poly(ethylene glycol)-containing hydrogel surfaces for antifouling applications in marine and freshwater environments.
Tobias Ekblad,Gunnar Bergström,Thomas Ederth,Sheelagh L. Conlan,Robert Mutton,Anthony S. Clare,Su Wang,Yunli Liu,Qi Zhao,Fraddry D’Souza,G.T. Donnelly,Peter R. Willemsen,Michala E. Pettitt,Maureen E. Callow,James A. Callow,Bo Liedberg +15 more
TL;DR: The biological results showed that the hydrogel coating exhibited excellent antifouling properties with respect to settlement and removal, with the degradation process was slow under the test conditions chosen and the coating thickness and composition changing only marginally over the period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterisation of silicone-based coatings filled with carbon nanotubes and natural sepiolite and their application as marine fouling-release coatings.
Alexandre Beigbeder,Philippe Degée,Sheelagh L. Conlan,Robert Mutton,Anthony S. Clare,Michala E. Pettitt,Maureen E. Callow,James A. Callow,Philippe Dubois +8 more
TL;DR: All the data indicate that independent of the bulk properties, the surface properties affect settlement, and more particularly, the fouling-release behaviour, of the filled materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Settlement and adhesion of algal cells to hexa(ethylene glycol)-containing self-assembled monolayers with systematically changed wetting properties.
Soeren Schilp,Alexander Kueller,Axel Rosenhahn,Michael Grunze,Michala E. Pettitt,Maureen E. Callow,James A. Callow +6 more
TL;DR: The number of Ulva zoospores and Navicula cells firmly adhered to the SAMs systematically increased with decreasing wettability, as shown for the protein fibrinogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured films of amphiphilic fluorinated block copolymers for fouling release application.
Elisa Martinelli,Serena Agostini,Giancarlo Galli,Emo Chiellini,Antonella Glisenti,Michala E. Pettitt,Maureen E. Callow,James A. Callow,Katja Graf,Frank Wilco Bartels +9 more
TL;DR: The XPS measurements on the "wet" films after immersion in water demonstrated that the film surface underwent reconstruction owing to its amphiphilic nature, thereby giving rise to a more chemically heterogeneous structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physicochemical properties of (ethylene glycol)-containing self-assembled monolayers relevant for protein and algal cell resistance.
Soeren Schilp,Axel Rosenhahn,Michala E. Pettitt,James Bowen,Maureen E. Callow,James A. Callow,Michael Grunze +6 more
TL;DR: The influence of the number of repeating units in self-assembled monolayers of ethylene glycol and of their end-group termination on the settlement and adhesion of two types of algal cells, viz., zoospores of the macroalga Ulva and cells of the diatom Navicula, was studied.
