Membrane fouling is a key factor limiting the application of a membrane bioreactor (MBR), and membrane-surface modification holds the potential to control membrane fouling and solves this problem. In the research, novel nanocomposite membranes were desig...

The biofouling of marine structures must be controlled if crippling operational and maintenance costs are to be avoided and biological invasions prevented. However, traditional methods of biofouling control typically involve the use of toxic chemicals, w...

Biofouling is a universal problem in the marine environment. Static structures and niche areas on ships, such as propellers, are not protected sufficiently by antifouling coatings. Encapsulation has previously been used as a fouling mitigation technique ...

The limited antifouling capability of Ti-based components could jeopardize their applications in petroleum engineering. In this work, a Cu-enriched TiO2 coating has been fabricated using an ultrasound-auxiliary micro-arc oxidation (UMAO) method. The Cu e...

Biofouling control on human-made structures and seagoing technologies that minimize environmental impacts is a major focus of research in marine industries. However, the most widely used antifouling (AF) method is still copper-based coatings. Some ?eco-f...

Fouling organisms reduce a ship?s fuel efficiency and disturb the ecosystem. Therefore, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and many nations have enacted laws that mandate periodic hull cleaning for removing fouling organisms. However, cleaning...
