Prohibition on the utilization of organotins compounds in antifouling (AF), and Fouling release (FR) paints have attracted considerable ineptest as an environmentally friendly alternative. In this work, an ecofriendly series of lotus‐like nano‐structured organic‐inorganic surfaces based on vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/ϒ‐Al2O3 nanorods composites were successfully modeled for the first time via in‐situ technique. The tailored nanocomposites were cured via hydrosilation mechanism and applied for marine FR coatings. Incorporation of various concentrations of controlled 1D nanofillers was inevitable to study the structure property relationship. Mechanical tests, durability parameters, and the FR and biological inertness were assessed. The results confirmed that uniform distribution of the prepared ϒ‐Al2O3 nanorods dramatically improved their water repellency, homogenous topology, self‐cleaning and fouling repellency. With nanofiller insertion up to 0.5% nanofillers, a particular increase in the contact angle (CA), decrease in the surface free energy (SFE), and topological homogeneity was observed with improving phsico‐mechanical, and durability against UV properties. The biological assessments indicated excellent inhibition and superior AF potential of the 0.5% nanofiller composite coatings. Our finding introduces attractive merits such as simplicity, ecofriendly, economic feasibility, and potential application in marine FR nano‐coatings.

“…Superhydrophobic surfaces have great importance for applications in various fields, especially for clean and sustainable chemistry. Superhydrophobic surfaces were extensively applied as self-cleaning and FR coatings [50][51][52] . Superhydrophobic nanocomposites with high WCA > 150˚, low CAH <5˚, micro-nano roughness, and reduced SFE are promising surfaces for eco-friendly antifouling applications [53] .…”

A global interest was awarded to study the natural superhydrophobic surfaces since the description of the Lotus Effect by Barthlott and Neinhuis in 1997. Natural biomimetic surface merits of micro/nano-roughness, water contact ˃ 150°, sliding angles ˂10°, and minimized free-energy characteristics would motivate the dynamic fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces. This critical review introduces an architectural panorama of numerous structural designs of natural superhydrophobic surfaces. Also, it discussed the fundamentals of self-cleaning and wetting theories to develop superhydrophobic structures. This progress review concentrates on superhydrophobic materials' applications for self-cleaning marine antifouling surfaces. It introduced an in-depth understanding of the structural design-superhydrophobic property relationship of the natural nano-wettable surfaces. It is technically first to shed light on the inner basics and platform for surface non-wettability and facilitates the way for design biomimetic self-cleaning antifouling surfaces.

“…Smart materials are attracting increasing interest especially in the era of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) and circular economy. Smart polymer nanocomposites (SPN) which can be derived from shape memory polymer [3][4][5][6], stimuli-active polymers [7], smart electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) polymer [8][9][10][11], self-healing polymer [12,13], self-cleaning polymer [14][15][16][17], self-heating polymer [18], self-sensing polymer [19], energy-harvesting and energy storage polymer [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] are the latest hot research topics. The addition of nanofiller can increase the performance of the SPN (e.g., shape fixity, shape recovery, self-healing ability) due to their high specific surface area, nucleating effects, reinforcing effects, and inherent functionalities (e.g., thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity) [3].…”

The development of smart polymer nanocomposites (SPN) has been an area of high scientific and industrial interest in recent years, due to fantastic improvements achieved in these materials. SPN found potential applications in shape memory, self-healing, self-sensing, self-heating, self-cleaning, and energy harvesting. This mini-review highlights the current research and development on SPN, specifically on shape memory polymer (SMP) and self-healing polymer (SHP) nanocomposites. The processing techniques for SPN nanocomposites, for example, polymerization, melt-compounding, solution mixing, electrospinning, and thermoset-curing are discussed. Some of the potential strategies to modify the properties of SMP and SHP nanocomposites are highlighted. The future perspective and recommended works for the SPN nanocomposites are shared in this mini-review.
