“…Ideal marine coatings should be able to simultaneously resist the initial settlement of marine organisms (antifouling property) and have low adhesion strength with the organisms (fouling-release property) without environmental threats. ,, Recently, many nontoxic strategies have been extensively explored to meet the challenge of marine biofoulings. − For example, the controlled surface topography is applied to influence the settlement behavior of marine organisms; − the surfaces are modified by fouling-deterrent bioactive molecules, or antifouling zwitterionic groups, and so forth. − Modifications of zwitterionic materials have achieved excellent mechanical stability, tunable elasticity, or long-term anti-biofilm properties. − In recent years, amphiphilic materials presenting both antifouling and fouling-release properties have been a promising marine coating. ,− The amphiphilic coating surfaces incorporate the hydrophilic segments (e.g., polyethylene glycol, PEG) to resist organism attachment with the hydrophobic segments (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) to reduce the adhesion strength. − However, the ether linkage in PEG is susceptible to thermal/oxidative chain scission, significantly reducing the protein resistance. − Moreover, hydrophobic PDMS cannot prevent the formation of marine slime layers (mainly composed of protein, bacteria, and diatoms) because of the hydrophobic interaction between slime-based marine organisms and PDMS materials. , …”
