Abstract
Biological fouling is a considerable threat to the marine industry because attached microcontaminants and microorganisms inflict serious damage on marine installations and aquacultures. Although there has been tremendous effort in researching marine antifouling, it is yet challenging to develop a long-term and consistent antifouling strategy and materials. Here, polyhexamethylene-biguanide (PHMB) and MXene are introduced into the carboxylated cellulose nanofibers (CNF) reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel to obtain a self-healing and ultra-high toughness antifouling hydrogel. The as-prepared double network (DN) hydrogels have extremely high toughness (16,050 kJ/m3), superior anti-protein adhesion (100 %) and anti-algal adhesion (100 %), exceptional antibacterial activity (99.97 %), and remarkable photothermal self-healing capability. Furthermore, the DN hydrogel provide outstanding antifouling performance for at least six months in the actual marine field. This work provides an effective and feasible strategy to prevent marine biofouling and also initiates new approaches to the application of hydrogel.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience.
The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
