Abstract
The increasing environmental concerns of conventional antifouling coatings have led to the exploration of novel and sustainable solutions to address the biofouling caused by Limnoperna fortunei. As a rapidly expanding invasive species, the fouling process of Limnoperna fortunei is closely associated with microbial fouling, posing significant threats to the integrity of aquatic infrastructure and biodiversity. This review discusses recent progress in the development of non-toxic, eco-friendly antifouling coatings that are designed to effectively resist biofouling without using toxic chemicals. Recent research has focused on developing novel non-toxic coatings that integrate natural bioactive components with advanced material technologies. These formulations not only meet current environmental standards and exhibit minimal ecological impact, but also possess significant potential in preventing the attachment, growth, and reproduction of Limnoperna fortunei. This review aims to provide scientific guidance by proposing effective and sustainable solutions to address the ecological challenges presented by Limnoperna fortunei. The insights gained from current research not only reveal novel antifouling methods, but also identify key areas for further investigation aimed at enhancing performance and environmental compatibility.
期刊介绍:
Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360) is an international, open access journal of polymer science. It publishes research papers, short communications and review papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Polymers provides an interdisciplinary forum for publishing papers which advance the fields of (i) polymerization methods, (ii) theory, simulation, and modeling, (iii) understanding of new physical phenomena, (iv) advances in characterization techniques, and (v) harnessing of self-assembly and biological strategies for producing complex multifunctional structures.
