Marine biofouling is a well-known massive problem: within the shortest time, ship hulls and
other man-made submerged surfaces are inevitably populated by various marine …

So far, scientists have successfully mimicked superhydrophobicity based on careful
observation and study of such surfaces found in nature. The key outcome is the fact that …

This review provides an overview of recent advances in the application of superhydrophobic
surfaces to act as corrosion barriers. The adverse consequences of corrosion are a serious …

Progress in materials science is associated with the development of nanomaterials in terms
of energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and low-cost methods. Since the use of tributyltin …

This work introduces a new self-healing superhydrophobic coating based on dual actions by
the corrosion inhibitor benzotriazole (BTA) and an epoxy-based shape memory polymer …

Because of the environmental and economic casualties of biofouling on maritime navigation,
modern studies have been devoted toward formulating advanced nanoscale composites in …

Large majority of superhydrophobic surfaces have very limited mechanical wear robustness
and long-term durability. This problem has restricted their utilization in commercial or …

Marine biofouling generally refers to the undesirable accumulation of biological organisms
on surfaces in contact with seawater. This natural phenomenon represents a major …

Bacterial attachment and the subsequent formation of biofilm on surfaces of synthetic
materials pose a serious problem in both human healthcare and industrial applications. In …
