Designing biomimetic antifouling surfaces.
Marine biofouling is the accumulation of biological material on underwater surfaces, which has plagued both commercial and naval fleets. Biomimetic approaches may well provide new insights into designing and developing alternative, non-toxic, surface-active antifouling (AF) technologies. In the marine environment, all submerged surfaces are affected by the attachment of fouling organisms, such ...
متن کاملFrictional Resistance of Antifouling Coating Systems
An experimental study has been made to compare the frictional resistance of several ship hull coatings in the unfouled, fouled, and cleaned conditions. Hydrodynamic tests were completed in a towing tank using a flat plate test fixture towed at a Reynolds number ~ReL! range of 2.8310 6 – 5.5310 based on the plate length and towing velocity. The results indicate little difference in frictional re...
متن کاملNew peptidomimetic polymers for antifouling surfaces.
Exposure of therapeutic and diagnostic medical devices to biological fluids is often accompanied by interfacial adsorption of proteins, cells, and microorganisms. Biofouling of surfaces can lead to compromised device performance or increased cost and in some cases may be life-threatening to the patient. Although numerous antifouling polymer coatings have enjoyed short-term success in preventing...
متن کاملFacile colloidal coating of polystyrene nanospheres with tunable gold dendritic patches.
Patchy particles comprise regions of differing material or chemical functionality on otherwise isotropic cores. To meet the great potential of these anisotropic structures in a wide range of application fields, completely new approaches are sought for the scalable and tunable production of patchy particles, particularly those with nanoscale dimensions. In this paper the synthesis of patchy part...
متن کاملCarbohydrate coating reduces adhesion of biofilm-forming Bacillus subtilis to gold surfaces.
The growth of bacterial biofilms in pipes and food tanks causes severe problems in industry. Biofilms growing on medical implants or catheters are of great concern, as they can cause serious infections and decrease the functionality of the medical device. The prevention of bacterial adhesion--the first step in colonization and biofilm formation--is therefore very important. Current research com...
