Recent progress in fabrications, mechanisms and developments of photo-responsive marine antifouling coatings

Facile Preparation of Photothermal Superhydrophobic Melamine Sponge Decorated with MXene and Lignin Particles for Efficient Oil/Water Separation, Fast Crude Oil Recovery, and Active Deicing

“…In addition, no traces have been found on the MS@PVA-MXene-PDA@LPs after pouring various liquids (i.e., coffee, orange juice, tea, and milk), showing the excellent superhydrophobicity of MS@PVA-MXene-PDA@LPs (Figure d–g). Such excellent antifouling and self-cleaning properties of MS@PVA-MXene-PDA@LPs facilitate the maintenance of surface superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity and thus achieve the efficient separation of oil/water mixtures. , …”

“…Such excellent antifouling and self-cleaning properties of MS@PVA-MXene-PDA@LPs facilitate the maintenance of surface superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity and thus achieve the efficient separation of oil/water mixtures. 40,41 Chemical Stability, Thermal Stability, and Mechanical Durability. To evaluate the chemical stability, the MS@PVA-MXene-PDA@LPs have been immersed in various liquids, including corrosive solutions (i.e., 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH), organic solvents (i.e., n-hexane and CCl 4 ), and boiling water.…”

External Stimuli-Responsive Strategies for Surface Modification of Orthopedic Implants: Killing Bacteria and Enhancing Osteogenesis

“…Light-responsive strategies are the process of applying specific wavelengths of light (e.g., visible, ultraviolet, infrared) to illuminate the surface of an implant, which reacts to the light to produce an effect, resulting in antibacterial therapy or promotion of osteogenesis, with excellent penetration depth, and low toxicity, which can be precisely manipulated. − Among them, near-infrared light penetration is better than visible and ultraviolet light, and receives more attention . One approach for a light-responsive strategy is photothermal therapy (PTT).…”

Review of TiO2-Based Heterojunction Coatings in Photocathodic Protection

“…4,5 Widespread attention has been focused on preventing metal corrosion and enhancing the corrosion resistance of metals in marine atmospheric and splash zones. 6,7 Corrosion protection methods primarily include the utilization of coatings, cathodic protection (CP), and corrosion inhibitors. 8−11 Coatings are prone to degradation over time, and their performance is often below standard values after a period of use.…”

“…These conditions can result in severe corrosion of facilities and equipment. − Corrosion will shorten the service life of the equipment and threaten personal safety, leading to substantial economic losses. Additionally, it causes significant pollution to the environment and disrupts the ecological balance. , Widespread attention has been focused on preventing metal corrosion and enhancing the corrosion resistance of metals in marine atmospheric and splash zones. , …”
