Preparation and Antifouling Properties of Poly(vinyl alcohol)-co- Poly(acrylamide) Macroporous Hydrogels

Nano-CeO2-Loaded Polyzwitterionic Double-Network High-Strength Hydrogel for Highly Enhanced Synergistic Marine Antifouling

“…For another instance, Gong et al prepared the poly­(vinyl alcohol)- co -poly­(acrylamide) microporous hydrogel with Kytococcus seentarius to achieve antibacterial activity. However, only the antibacterial effect of this hydrogel without high mechanical strength, cannot provide excellent marine-antifouling performance for a relatively long term . Hydrogel antifouling materials require both excellent antifouling ability and mechanical properties to effectively resist fouling for a relatively long term in a harsh marine environment.…”

“…However, only the antibacterial effect of this hydrogel without high mechanical strength, cannot provide excellent marine-antifouling performance for a relatively long term. 45 Hydrogel antifouling materials require both excellent antifouling ability and mechanical properties to effectively resist fouling for a relatively long term in a harsh marine environment. At present, it is urgent to combine excellent marine-antifouling and high-strength properties into one marine-antifouling hydrogel.…”

Synthesis and Properties of Novel Silicone-Acrylate Self-Emulsifying Emu

“…With the development of silanes used as crosslinkers in polymers, silicone-acrylate resins were also synthesized and effectively improved the weatherability, water and stain resistance of traditional acrylic resins 2 . Now, such resins have been progressively used in the antifouling coatings 3,4 . However, silicone-acrylate resins used in commercial antifouling coatings usually employ large scale of xylene, toluene and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 5,6 .…”
