Many desalination plants still struggle to control biological fouling in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) systems as there are no standard methods monitor this type of fouling. Strategies biofouling SWRO have been proposed such antifouling coating and lowering potential feedwater through pretreatment processes. Measuring the has gained increased interest due its direct link biofouling. Moreover,...

Marine growth has been observed to cause a drop in the horizontal and vertical velocities of underwater gliders, thus making them unresponsive needing immediate recovery. Currently, no strategies exist correctly identify onset marine for gliders only limited data sets biofouled hulls exist. Here, field test conducted first investigate impact on dynamics power consumption then design an anomaly ...

A choline phosphate (CP) modified surface is designed to resist protein adsorption due to its zwitterionic properties and simultaneously promote cell adhesion though its universal interaction with phosphate choline (PC) headgroups of the cell membrane. This work provides a new approach to obtain a cell-adhesive surface with a non-biofouling 'background', which has a potential for tissue enginee...

The control of biofouling is required to improve membranes performances for water filtration. In this context, developing bioinspired approaches modify and give them antifouling properties an interesting alternative. study, we elaborated new anti-biofouling by coating with vanillin, a natural bioactive molecule acting as Quorum Sensing Inhibitor (QSI). First, the adsorption vanillin filtration ...
