“…The most controllable way to test AF performance of biocides and surfaces is in the laboratory, by bioassay against single organisms. An automated 96-well plate reader has been used to study the microbial stability of latex paint formulations in a mixture design in conjunction with bioassays (Rhoades et al 2005). Ultimately, the performance of all AF coatings needs to be validated by long-term exposure to their intended environment.…”

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, surfaceactive antifouling (AF) technologies. In the marine environment, all submerged surfaces are affected by the attachment of fouling organisms, such as bacteria, diatoms, algae and invertebrates, causing increased hydrodynamic drag, resulting in increased fuel consumption, and decreased speed and operational range. There are also additional expenses of dry-docking, together with increased fuel costs and corrosion, which are all important economic factors that demand the prevention of biofouling. Past solutions to AF have generally used toxic paints or coatings that have had a detrimental effect on marine life worldwide. The prohibited use of these antifoulants has led to the search for biologically inspired AF strategies. This review will explore the natural and biomimetic AF surface strategies for marine systems.

The study and application of antimicrobial peptides is a growing niche field in the areas of pharmaceutics and medicinal chemistry. As a result, the majority of testing and development is completed under in vitro conditions. The use of synthetically derived antimicrobial peptides in applications outside the medical realm is a relatively untapped field, with the significance of interactions between antimicrobial oligopeptides and the ingredients of polymer systems being largely unknown. Water-based polymer coatings systems are attractive targets for microbial invasion because of their inherent material properties. Water-based polymer latex coatings contain a number of components which aide in stabilization and coalescence of the polymer particles, such as surfactants and polymeric cellulose-derived molecules, with several types of molecular structures existing for each. Microbes are able to flourish within the water phase of the latexes while taking sustenance from these dispersion components, resulting in a loss of properties commonly known as 'spoilage'. This work addresses the impact of formulation variables, specifically surfactant structure, on the solution and antimicrobial behavior of a model antimicrobial oligopeptides through the use of HT absorbance measurements.
