“…This result further revealed that the physicochemical properties of the CNT filler may have differential reinforcing impacts on the AF properties of the PDMS matrix. Recently, CNTs have been applied as additives to improve the membrane properties of various polymeric matrixes worldwide, and a host of highly promising functionalized nanocomposites with excellent properties have been obtained for marine AF applications [ 23 , 24 ]. However, most fouling evaluation systems are still confined to laboratory assays, only involving the measurement of the adhesive number of representative hard foulings (e.g., B. Amphitrite and Mytilus edulis ) [ 25 , 26 ] or soft foulings (e.g., Ulva ) [ 27 , 28 ].…”

In this study, the antifouling (AF) performance of different carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-modified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposites (PCs) was examined directly in the natural seawater, and further analyzed using the Multidimensional Scale Analyses (MDS) method. The early-adherent bacterial communities in the natural biofilms adhering to different PC surfaces were investigated using the single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique. The PCs demonstrated differences and reinforced AF properties in the field, and they were prone to clustering according to the discrepancies within different CNT fillers. Furthermore, most PC surfaces only demonstrated weak modulating effects on the biological colonization and successional process of the early bacterial communities in natural biofilms, indicating that the presence of the early colonized prokaryotic microbes would be one of the primary causes of colonization and deterioration of the PCs. C6 coating seems to be promising for marine AF applications, since it has a strong perturbation effect on pioneer prokaryotic colonization.

The discovery of graphene has brought great innovations to materials science. Since tributyltin antifouling coatings were banned worldwide in 2008, the development of green antifouling coatings has become necessary. Recently, novel graphene‐related antifouling coatings have been the focus of many studies due to their enhanced mechanical strength, excellent antifouling capabilities, and environmental friendliness. This review starts by introducing the basic antifouling mechanisms of graphene nanosheets and the possible antifouling mechanisms when graphene is incorporated into coatings. Subsequently, the progress and existing problems regarding the application of graphene in the prevention of marine biofouling are discussed. Specifically, this review focuses on six graphene‐related antifouling coatings, including pure graphene film, nanohybrids, foul release coatings, photocatalytic nanocomposites, desalination membranes, and materials for uranium enrichment. The fabrication, antifouling properties, working mechanisms, and future development of graphene‐related antifouling coatings are highlighted. In addition, the potential environmental risk of using graphene materials in preventing marine biofouling is explained, and the basic requirements for designing an environmentally friendly graphene‐related antifouling coating are discussed. Finally, the prospect of applying graphene materials for combating marine biofouling is presented. This review aims to aid in improving the design of graphene‐related green antifouling coatings.

This study thoroughly studied the implements of fluorosilane modified graphene oxide (GO) on the mechanical, thermal, and water absorption properties of the epoxy composites built up by specific content of modified GO. Fluorosilane graphene oxide (GOSiF) was analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffractometer. The epoxy composites tensile and bending modulus were increased by 11.46% and 62.25% with 0.1 and 0.5 wt% GOSiF loading, respectively. The good interfacial interaction was observed between epoxy matrix and GOSiF nanosheets under scanning electron microscopy. The thermal stability increases with GOSiF loading. Epoxy composite with 0.3 wt% GOSiF shows 5 °C increases in the T10%. The residual weight raised by 58.67% with 0.3 wt% GOSiF content. The water absorption study revealed small water uptake was obtained for all GOSiF composites. With 0.3 wt% loading of GOSiF, the maximum water content drops from 4.97% for neat epoxy to 1.98%. POLYM.
