Abstract

In the offshore industry, antifouling protection is achieved mainly through the use of special antifouling coatings whose polymer matrix contains biocides releasing during the object exploitation at a controlled rate. Despite its recognized efficiency, this strategy has significant drawbacks, among which is the high ecotoxicity of antifouling agents. The increasing legislation on the use of antifouling compounds has intensified efforts to find alternative ecologically friendly technologies. Antifouling strategies possessed by living organisms are of particular scientific interest. This paper presents an overview in the field of bioinspired technologies applicable to the development of antifouling coatings in the marine application.
