Abstract

Marine biofouling, a persistent challenge that increases drag and fuel consumption in marine vessels, has driven extensive research into antifouling hydrogel coatings due to their unique ability to prevent microbial attachment and biofilm formation. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent progress in antifouling hydrogel research, focusing on preparation techniques and the characteristics of commonly used hydrogels, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), zwitterionic polymers, and natural polymer-based hydrogels. The review emphasizes strategies to enhance the mechanical strength, substrate adhesion, and antibacterial efficacy of hydrogels, aiming to address their inherent limitations in marine environments and improve the durability and longevity of antifouling performance. Future research should prioritize adapting hydrogels for extreme marine conditions, integrating advanced features like self-healing and multi-functionality, and overcoming scalability challenges through innovative fabrication techniques to enable broader practical application.

船舶防污水凝胶涂料的研究进展及性能提升策略

由于水凝胶涂层具有独特的防止微生物附着和生物膜形成的能力，海洋生物污一直是船舶阻力和燃料消耗增加的一大挑战，因此人们对其进行了广泛的研究。本文综述了近年来防污水凝胶的研究进展，重点介绍了聚乙二醇（PEG）、两性离子聚合物和天然聚合物基水凝胶等常用水凝胶的制备技术和特点。本文着重介绍了提高水凝胶机械强度、基材附着力和抗菌效果的策略，旨在解决其在海洋环境中的固有局限性，提高其防污性能的耐久性和寿命。未来的研究应优先考虑使水凝胶适应极端海洋条件，整合自愈和多功能等先进功能，并通过创新的制造技术克服可扩展性挑战，以实现更广泛的实际应用。
