“…Marine biofouling is the unwanted accumulation of biomass on submerged surfaces. [1][2][3][4] The hydrodynamic penalties, increased biocorrosion, and occlusion of materials such as netting and pipes caused by biofouling negatively impact industries including shipping, aquaculture and energy production at immense cost to both the economy and the environment. 1,2,5,6 The impact of biofouling on ship efficiency is the best documented exampleincreased hull roughness due to biofouling exponentially increases hydrodynamic drag and penalises propulsive power.…”

“…Both amphiphilic polymeric antifouling materials and fouling detachment type antifouling materials are hot spots of antifouling materials at present [6]. However, traditional amphiphilic polymeric antifouling materials use polyethylene glycol hydrophilic chain segments, which are easily oxidized in the actual environment.…”

Marine organisms adsorb and grow on the surface of underwater facilities. This process, known as fouling, has a detrimental impact on marine shipping and development. Currently, in order to prevent marine biofouling, the most efficient and economical method is the application of antifouling coatings that synthesized by a diverse of different functional polymer materials. For this reason, this research will introduce the progress in five types of functional polymer materials, which are polymers with catechol groups, polysulfide-based polymers, polymer quaternary ammonium salts, hydrogels and silicone resin. Due to different functional groups properties as well as mechanisms of action, they have their own advantages in the application of antifouling coatings. Meanwhile, the future trend of antifouling coatings development and their application in real sea environment are prospected.

“…Biofouling, defined as the undesired accumulation given by any association of microorganisms, algae, plants, and marine animals on submerged surfaces, causes over time bio-deterioration of exposed areas of ships, boats, ports, underwater cultural heritage, with progressive loss of economic value, as well as higher costs for their maintenance, and fuel consumption in the case of vessels [ 1 ]. In this regard, it has been calculated that the development of new anti-fouling technologies would reduce the fuel consumption for navigation (between 38 and 72%), saving 60 billion dollars and avoiding the emission of about 390 million tons of greenhouse gases each year [ 2 ].…”

Biofouling has destructive effects on shipping and leisure vessels, thus producing severe problems for marine and naval sectors due to corrosion with consequent elevated fuel consumption and higher maintenance costs. The development of anti-fouling or fouling release coatings creates deterrent surfaces that prevent the initial settlement of microorganisms. In this regard, new silica-based materials were prepared using two alkoxysilane cross-linkers containing epoxy and amine groups (i.e., 3-glycidyloxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, respectively), in combination with two functional fluoro-silane (i.e., 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl-trimethoxysilane and glycidyl-2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9-hexadecafluorononylether) featuring well-known hydro repellent and anti-corrosion properties. As a matter of fact, the co-condensation of alkoxysilane featuring epoxide and amine ends, also mixed with two opportune long chain and short chain perfluorosilane precursors, allows getting stable amphiphilic, non-toxic, fouling release coatings. The sol–gel mixtures on coated glass slides were fully characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, while the morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The fouling release properties were evaluated through tests on treated glass slides in different microbial suspensions in seawater-based mediums and in seawater natural microcosms. The developed fluorinated coatings show suitable antimicrobial activities and low adhesive properties; no biocidal effects were observed for the microorganisms (bacteria).
