Abstract:Marine fouling has caused serious economic losses, and exploring multiple eco-friendly antifouling strategies has a positive significance. As a natural polyphenolic antioxidant, Tannic acid (TA) has a wide range of sources and biosafety, excellent antibacterial properties and its special chemical structure makes it easy to bind to the surface, which may provide inspiration for the development of antifouling materials. In this paper, a TA-based antifouling coating was designed and prepared. A stable intermediat… Show more
