Antifouling coatings: recent developments in the design of surfaces that prevent fouling by proteins, bacteria, and marine organisms.
TL;DR: The major strategies for designing surfaces that prevent fouling due to proteins, bacteria, and marine organisms are reviewed and ongoing research in this area should result in the development of even better antifouling materials in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in the development of environmentally friendly fouling-resistant marine coatings
TL;DR: Advances in nanotechnology and polymer science, and the development of novel surface designs 'bioinspired' by nature, are expected to have a significant impact on theDevelopment of a new generation of environmentally friendly marine coatings.

Marine chemical ecology: what's known and what's next?
TL;DR: This review concludes that relatively unstudied, ontogenetic shifts in concentrations and types of defenses occur in marine species, and patterns of larval chemical defenses appear to provide insights into the evolution of complex life cycles and of differing modes of development among marine invertebrates.

Mechanical factors favoring release from fouling release coatings.
Robert F. Brady,Irwin L. Singer +1 more
TL;DR: The types of bonding associated with polymeric materials used in fouling resistant coatings are reviewed, the removal process is described in terms of fracture mechanics, and the importance of surface energy, elastic modulus and coating thickness in the release of biofoulants is discussed.
