Abstract
The capsaicin analogue N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl) acrylamide (HMBA) was linked with polylauryl methacrylate-b-poly(2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PLMA-b-PDMAEMA) via a quaternization reaction with 4-(acrylamidomethyl)-2-methoxyphenyl 2-chloroacetate (AAMPCA). The amphiphilic copolymers were capable of transforming its structure in response to the solvent change from aprotic to protic, which was verified by the 1H NMR spectrum. The resulting cationic copolymers underwent a hydrolysis process in water, yielding zwitterionic groups on surfaces. Meanwhile, the bactericidal reagent HMBA was released. It was proved that the hydrolysis rate of the copolymers accelerated with higher temperature, higher pH value, and higher hydrophilic block units. And the controllable, sustainable release of HMBA was achieved with copolymer-mediated hydrolysis. Protein-repellent and bactericidal tests on the surface of the coating proved that antifouling and bactericidal performances of the coating correlated to the structure conversion abilities of the corresponding copolymer. The dynamic monitoring of Escherichia coli adhesion in 3 h evidenced the antifouling and bactericidal process of copolymers with different block ratios and concentrations. The coating incorporated with 3% PLMA120-b-(PDMAEMA-AAMPCA)120 in polylactic acid base materials showed an adhesion ratio of E. coli less than 1% within 1 h, and the survival ratio of the adhered bacteria is <1%, suggesting its rapid speed and high efficiency in "bacterial repelling and killing". Also, the PLMA120-b-(PDMAEMA-AAMPCA)120 copolymer demonstrated enhanced bactericidal ability compared with the mixture of cationic poly(laruyl methacrylate)120-b-poly(carboxybetaine methacrylate ester)120 (PLMA120-b-PCBMAE120) and free HMBA. The lowest minimal inhibitory concentration was 0.078 mg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and 0.312 mg/mL against E. coli, respectively.

Abstract
Inhibiting the adhesion and growth of marine microorganisms through photocatalysis is a potentially efficient and environmentally friendly antifouling strategy. However, the undesired "shading effect" caused by resin coatings and microbial deposition reduces the utilization of the catalysts and leads to a failure in the antifouling active substance on the coating surface. Here, we successfully developed a composite coating (DPC-x) combining g-C3N4 nanosheet (g-C-NS) photocatalysts with degradable green poly-Schiff base resins, which integrates the dual functions of enhanced dynamic self-renewal and photocatalytic antibacterial activities towards long-term anti-biofouling. The controllable and complete degradability of the poly-Schiff base polymer chains and the self-renewal mechanism of the DPC-x coating exposed the internal g-C-NS, which provided a constant stream of photocatalytic reactive interfaces for 100% utilization and release of the photocatalysts. g-C-NS were homogeneously dispersed in the degradable resin coating, significantly enhancing and adjusting the self-renewal rate of the poly-Schiff base resin coating in visible light. The degradation reaction rate of DPC-0.2 (20 wt% g-C-NS) was 40 times that of DPC, thus improving the capabilities of surface self-renewal and fouling-release. Due to the synergistic antifouling mechanism of the efficient antibacterial properties and the enhanced degradation/self-renewal, the antimicrobial rates of DPC and DPC-0.2 were 94.58% and 99.31% in the dark, and 98.2% and 99.87% in visible light. DPC-x has excellent all-weather antimicrobial efficacy and could offer a new perspective on eco-friendly marine antifouling strategies.

Abstract
The development of nontoxic antifouling coatings in static marine environments is urgent. Herein, the successful synthesis of sulfobetaine borneol fluorinated polymers (PEASBF) by a free radical polymerization method is reported. The PEASBF coatings exhibit outstanding antifouling activity, which effectively resists the adhesion of Bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA adhesion rate: 0.5%), Pseudomonas sp. (Biofilm: 1.3 absorbance) and Navicula sp. (Diatom attachment rate: 33%). More importantly, the PEASBF coatings display outstanding fouling release properties, achieving a release rate of 98% for Navicula sp., and the absorbance of the Pseudomonas sp. biofilm is only 0.2 under 10 Pa shear stress. XPS and MD studies showed that the fluorinated/isobornyl groups induce more sulfobetaine groups to migrate toward polymer surfaces for intensify antifouling. Additionally, the chiral stereochemical structure of borneol enhances antifouling and fouling release ability of amphiphilic polymers. Therefore, the PEASBF has the potential for static marine antifouling applications.

Abstract
The formation process of biofouling is actually a 4D process with both spatial and temporal dimensions. However, most traditional antifouling coatings, including slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS), are limited to performing antifouling process in the 2D coating plane. Herein, inspired by the defensive behavior of sea anemones' wielding toxic tentacles, a "4D SLIPS" (FSLIPS) is constructed with biomimetic cilia via a magnetic field self-assembly method for antifouling. The bionic cilia move in 3D space driven by an external magnetic field, thereby preventing the attachment of microorganisms. The FSLIPS releases the gaseous antifoulant (nitric oxide) at 1D time in response to light, thereby achieving a controllable biocide effect on microorganisms. The FSLIPS regulates the movement of cilia via the external magnetic field, and controls the release of NO overtime via the light response, so as to adjust the antifouling modes on demand during the day or night. The light/magnetic response mechanism endow the FSLIPS with the ability to adjust the antifouling effect in the 4D dimension of 1D time and 3D space, effectively realizing the intelligence, multi-dimensionality and precision of the antifouling process.

Multifunctional coating with hydrophobicity, antibacterial and flame-retardant properties on cotton fabrics by layer-by-layer self-assembly curing of phytic acid and a tyrosine-derived hyperbranched benzoxazine. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135151.

Abstract
The inherent hydrophilicity and biocompatibility of cotton fabrics facilitated bacterial proliferation and safety concerns, limiting their applications. To address these issues, tyrosine-derived polyetherimide, bis(3-aminopropyl)-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane), and paraformaldehyde were used to synthesize hyperbranched benzoxazine THB-BOZs-PDMS with potent antibacterial and antibiofilm activity. The protonated amino groups of benzoxazine facilitated electrostatic interactions with negatively charged bacteria, and hydrophobic interactions disrupted the cell membrane, leading to bacteria death. Notably, phytic acid interacts with benzoxazines through intermolecular forces, with its phosphoric acid groups facilitating the curing of benzoxazines, thereby imparting flame-retardant properties to the material. Consequently, a multifunctional coating was developed via LBL self-assembly and in-situ curing of benzoxazines and phytic acid on the fabric surfaces. The successful deposition of the coating was confirmed through compositional analysis and morphological characterization. After 4 cycles of LBL modification, the fabrics TBP + PA-CF-4 displayed outstanding antibacterial efficacy, bacterial anti-adhesion properties, and heat resistance. Furthermore, TBP + PA-CF-4 exhibited notable washing and mechanical durability, attributed to the stability conferred by in-situ cured of layers. Compared with other reported modified fabrics, TBP + PA-CF-4 displayed more comprehensive overall performances. These multifunctional fabrics provided a sustainable approach for advancing personal protective materials and public decoration, particularly suited for use in high-humidity environments or military settings.

Abstract
Inspired by animals with a slippery epidermis, durable slippery antibiofouling coatings with liquid-like wetting buckled surfaces are successfully constructed in this study by combining dynamic-interfacial-release-induced buckling with self-assembled silicon-containing diblock copolymer (diBCP). The core diBCP material is polystyrene-block-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PS-b-PDMS). Because silicon-containing polymers with intrinsic characters of low surface energy, they easily flow over and cover a surface after it has undergone controlled thermal treatment, generating a slippery wetting layer on which can eliminate polar interactions with biomolecules. Additionally, microbuckled patterns result in curved surfaces, which offer fewer points at which organisms can attach to the surface. Different from traditional slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces, the proposed liquid-like PDMS wetting layer, chemically bonded with PS, is stable and slippery but does not flow away. PS-b-PDMS diBCPs with various PDMS volume fractions are studied to compare the influence of PDMS segment length on antibiofouling performance. The surface characteristics of the diBCPs─ease of processing, transparency, and antibiofouling, anti-icing, and self-cleaning abilities─are examined under various conditions. Being able to fabricate ecofriendly silicon-based lubricant layers without needing to use fluorinated compounds and costly material precursors is an advantage in industrial practice.

Abstract
Zwitterionic coatings provide a promising antifouling strategy against biofouling adhesion. Quaternary ammonium cationic polymers can effectively kill bacteria on the surface, owing to their positive charges. This strategy can avoid the release of toxic biocides, which is highly desirable for constructing coatings for biomedical devices. The present work aims to develop a facile method by covalently grafting zwitterionic and cationic copolymers containing aldehydes to the remaining amine groups of self-polymerized dopamine. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization was used to copolymerize either zwitterionic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine monomer (MPC) or cationic 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium monomer (META) with 4-formyl phenyl methacrylate monomer (FPMA), and the formed copolymers poly(MPC-st-FPMA) and poly(META-st-FPMA) are denoted as MPF and MTF, respectively. MPF and MTF copolymers were then covalently grafted onto the amino groups of polydopamine-coated surfaces. PDA/MPF/MTF-coated surfaces exhibited antibacterial and antifouling properties against S. aureus, E. coli, and bovine serum albumin protein. In addition, they showed excellent viability of normal human lung fibroblast cells MRC-5. We expect the facile surface modification strategy discussed here to be applicable to medical device manufacturing.

Abstract
Polymeric membrane ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) have been widely used in environmental monitoring. However, in complicated marine environments, marine biofouling usually becomes a sticky problem for these electrodes. Herein, for the first time, a novel maintenance-free antifouling potentiometric marine sensor based on a self-polishing coating (SPC) is proposed. The SPC is synthesized by using the seeded emulsion polymerization method based on the triisopropylsilyl methacrylate monomer as the regulator of the self-renewal rate. This coating can be simply modified onto the electrode surface by drop-casting. The silyl acrylate side groups of the obtained SPC on the sensor surface can be hydrolyzed in the marine alkaline medium. The shear movement of seawater driven by sea waves, wind, gravity, or vibration removes the leftover (fouled) brittle polymer backbone and thus the fouling marine microorganisms. As a proof-of-concept experiment, a polymeric membrane Ca2+-ISE is chosen as a model. Compared to the unmodified electrode, the SPC-coated Ca2+-ISE exhibits remarkable improved antifouling properties in terms of superior anti-adhesive abilities towards marine microorganisms, such as bacterial cells and algae and excellent long-term stability even in the presence of high levels of marine microorganisms. Since no additional manual maintenance is required for maintaining the antifouling abilities of the sensor, the proposed self-polishing sensor may lay an important foundation for construction of unattended long-term potentiometric monitoring systems in real marine environments.

Abstract
This review aims to highlight the most recent advances in the field of the synthesis of branched copolymers and nanogels using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. RAFT polymerization is a reversible deactivation radical polymerization technique (RDRP) that has gained tremendous attention due to its versatility, compatibility with a plethora of functional monomers, and mild polymerization conditions. These parameters lead to final polymers with good control over the molar mass and narrow molar mass distributions. Branched polymers can be defined as the incorporation of secondary polymer chains to a primary backbone, resulting in a wide range of complex macromolecular architectures, like star-shaped, graft, and hyperbranched polymers and nanogels. These subcategories will be discussed in detail in this review in terms of synthesis routes and properties, mainly in solutions.

Abstract
Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have received widespread attention in the antifouling field. However, the reduction in antifouling performance caused by lubricant loss limits their application in marine antifouling. Herein, inspired by the skin of a poison dart frog which contains venom glands and mucus, a porous liquid (PL) based on ZIF-8 is prepared as a lubricant and injected into a silicone polyurethane (SPU) matrix to construct a new type of SLIPS for marine antifouling applications: the slippery porous-liquid-infused porous surface (SPIPS). The SPIPS consists of a responsive antifoulant-releasing switch between "defensive" and "offensive" antifouling modes to intelligently enhance the antifouling effect after lubricant loss. The SPIPS can adjust antifouling performance to meet the antifouling requirements under different light conditions. The wastage of antifoulants is reduced, thereby effectively maintaining the durability and service life of SLIPS materials. The SPIPS exhibits efficient lubricant self-replenishment, self-cleaning, anti-protein, anti-bacterial, anti-algal, and self-healing (97.48%) properties. Furthermore, it shows satisfactory 360-day antifouling performance in actual marine fields during boom seasons, demonstrating the longest antifouling lifespan in the field tests of reported SLIPS coatings. Hence, the SPIPS can effectively promote the development of SLIPS for neritic antifouling.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 326:121619. [PMID: 38142076 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
Starch-based films have received considerable attention, owing to their commendable biocompatible and biodegradable properties; however, their poor ultraviolet (UV)-blocking and antibacterial performances limit their application in fruit preservation. Herein, bio-based bifunctional benzoxazine (Bi-BOZ) compounds with different carbon chain lengths were synthesized, and the influence of chain lengths on the antibacterial effect was explored. Benzoxazine with 1,12-dodecanediamine as the amine source (BOZ-DDA) exhibited excellent antibacterial and antibiofilm activities, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 21.7 ± 2.2 and 23.3 ± 2.6 μg/mL against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively, mainly because the electrostatic attraction and hydrophobic effect of BOZ-DDA, effectively disrupted the bacterial integrity. DS/DDA films with hydrophobic, antibacterial, and UV-resistant abilities were prepared by the Schiff-base reaction between BOZ-DDA and dialdehyde starch (DS). The interactions between the films increased with BOZ-DDA content, enhanced mechanical and barrier properties. DS/DDA films exhibited acid-responsive antibacterial activity attributed to the acid hydrolysis of Schiff bases, released of BOZ-DDA from the films, and the protonation of BOZ-DDA. DS/DDA films exhibited commendable antibacterial and anti-ultraviolet characteristics compared to commercially available films, allowing them to prevent the degradation of mangoes and grapes. As sustainable antibacterial materials, the multifunctional DS/DDA films manifest promising prospects in fruit preservation packaging applications.

Abstract
With the ever-growing demand for sustainability, designing polymeric materials using readily accessible feedstocks provides potential solutions to address the challenges in energy and environmental conservation. Complementing the prevailing strategy of varying chemical composition, engineering microstructures of polymer chains by precisely controlling their chain length distribution, main chain regio-/stereoregularity, monomer or segment sequence, and architecture creates a powerful toolbox to rapidly access diversified material properties. In this Perspective, we lay out recent advances in utilizing appropriately designed polymers in a wide range of applications such as plastic recycling, water purification, and solar energy storage and conversion. With decoupled structural parameters, these studies have established various microstructure-function relationships. Given the progress outlined here, we envision that the microstructure-engineering strategy will accelerate the design and optimization of polymeric materials to meet sustainability criteria.

Abstract
Traditional self-polishing antifouling coatings kill surface organisms by releasing toxic substances, which are damaging to the ecosystem. As a natural antimicrobial substance, eugenol is environmentally friendly and has been proven by different research teams to be effective in enhancing the anti-fouling effect of coatings in the real sea. While in these previous research works, the eugenol was released directly into the seawater thus cannot further serve as surface antifouling effect, leading to a limited antifouling effect of the coating. In this work, the quaternary ammonium component was introduced into the butyl ester-based resin - poly (eugenol methacrylate - acryloyloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride - hexafluorobutyl methacrylate - methyl methacrylate - butyl methacrylate - ethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate) (EMQFP) coating for the first time by simple one-step free radical polymerization method. On the one hand, the eugenol produced by hydrolysis is anchored to the quaternary ammonium on the coating surface for a period of time due to the cationic-π interaction, instead of being released into seawater immediately after hydrolysis, thus increasing the utilization rate of eugenol; on the other hand, the negatively charged carboxylate groups generated after hydrolysis in the coating are mutually attracted to quaternary ammonium through electrostatic effect, so the resin chain segment conformation on the coating surface adjusted to produce zwitterionic-like structure, and the hydration of zwitterionic inhibits primary fouling adhesion.

Abstract
In a previous development stage, mostly individual antibacterial activity was a target in the optimization of biologically active compounds and antiseptic agents. Although this targeting is still valuable, a new trend has appeared since the discovery of superhigh resistance of bacterial cells upon their aggregation into groups. Indeed, it is now well established that the great majority of pathogenic germs are found in the environment as surface-associated microbial communities called biofilms. The protective properties of biofilms and microbial resistance, even to high concentrations of biocides, cause many chronic infections in medical settings and lead to serious economic losses in various areas. A paradigm shift from individual bacterial targeting to also affecting more complex cellular frameworks is taking place and involves multiple strategies for combating biofilms with compounds that are effective at different stages of microbiome formation. Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) play a key role in many of these treatments and prophylactic techniques on the basis of both the use of individual antibacterial agents and combination technologies. In this review, we summarize the literature data on the effectiveness of using commercially available and newly synthesized QACs, as well as synergistic treatment techniques based on them. As an important focus, techniques for developing and applying antimicrobial coatings that prevent the formation of biofilms on various surfaces over time are discussed. The information analyzed in this review will be useful to researchers and engineers working in many fields, including the development of a new generation of applied materials; understanding biofilm surface growth; and conducting research in medical, pharmaceutical, and materials sciences. Although regular studies of antibacterial activity are still widely conducted, a promising new trend is also to evaluate antibiofilm activity in a comprehensive study in order to meet the current requirements for the development of highly needed practical applications.

Abstract
The term "zwitterionic polymers" refers to polymers that bear a pair of oppositely charged groups in their repeating units. When these oppositely charged groups are equally distributed at the molecular level, the molecules exhibit an overall neutral charge with a strong hydration effect via ionic solvation. The strong hydration effect constitutes the foundation of a series of exceptional properties of zwitterionic materials, including resistance to protein adsorption, lubrication at interfaces, promotion of protein stabilities, antifreezing in solutions, etc. As a result, zwitterionic materials have drawn great attention in biomedical and engineering applications in recent years. In this review, we give a comprehensive and panoramic overview of zwitterionic materials, covering the fundamentals of hydration and nonfouling behaviors, different types of zwitterionic surfaces and polymers, and their biomedical applications.

Abstract
As the utilization of degradable polymer coatings increased, the accompanying trade-off between good degradability and high-efficiency antidiatom adhesion due to their hydrophobic nature remains unresolved. The study presents a new hydrophobic surface-fragmenting coating consisting of degradable hyperbranched polymers (hereafter denoted as h-LLAx) synthesized by reversible complexation-mediated copolymerization with isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) and divinyl-functional oligomeric poly(l-lactide) (OLLA-V2), both derived from biomass, that exhibited superior resistance (∼0 cell mm-2) to marine diatom Navicula incerta (N. incerta) attachment with higher OLLA content. The combined impact of the microscale hollow semisphere micelles that self-assembled degradable hyperbranched copolymers and hydrolysis-driven self-renewable surfaces following immersion in seawater may account for the remarkable resistance of h-LLAx coatings against N. incerta. Detailed investigations were conducted across multiple perspectives, from hydrolytic degradation to broad-spectrum antibacterial attachment to ecotoxicity assessment. The excellent features of high resistance to marine diatoms and bacterial attachment, degradability, and environmental friendliness make the as-prepared h-LLAx coatings widely sought after for antifouling coating applications.

Abstract
Environmentally compatible polymeric membrane marine sensors with excellent antiadhesive and antibacterial properties have recently been developed. However, the regeneration abilities of these sensors after fouling have rarely been investigated. Herein, a novel strategy for preparation of a regenerable antibiofouling coating via surface modification of a dual-functionalized magnetic composite is proposed. A zwitterionic polymer (i.e., poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)) and a quaternary ammonium compound (i.e., 3-trimethoxysilylpropyl octadecyldimethyl ammonium chloride) are coated on the surface of Fe3O4 microspheres for antiadhesion and bacterial inactivation, respectively. The antifouling magnetic composite can readily be modified on the sensor's surface via the magnetically assisted self-assembly technology. Using a polymeric membrane calcium ion-selective electrode as a model sensor, the protection layer-coated electrode shows the markedly improved antibiofouling activities as compared to the unmodified sensor. More importantly, by altering the direction of the external magnetic field, the antifouling coating can easily be removed after fouling along with the removal of the adsorbed bacterial cells from the electrode's surface, which is followed by re-modifying a fresh coating for regeneration of the antifouling electrode. The proposed methodology for fabrication of a regenerable antibiofouling coating is promising to improve the durability of a marine sensor.

Abstract
In this study, N-hydroxymethylbenzamide was alkylated with various aromatic compounds to obtain five novel benzamide derivatives containing capsaicin (BDCC), and the BDCC were incorporated into coatings as auxiliary agents. The relationships between properties and structures were discussed based on experimental and theoretical results. The theoretical results showed the optimized configurations of BDCC and confirmed that the benzene ring, phenolic hydroxyl, ester and amide groups were active sites. Experimental results indicated that the antimicrobial and antifouling effects of compounds b1, b2 and b3 were better than those of chlorothalonil, their MIC and MBC values were no more than 64 and 512 μg·mL-1, and their test panels were covered only with small amounts of dirt and biofilms; they worked well as green antifouling additives. The experimental and theoretical results showed that BDCC and BDCC antifouling coatings were effective and eco-friendly.

Abstract
Since biofouling challenges negatively influence the marine and transportation industries, developing effective antifouling materials have attracted extensive concern. A tyrosine-based antifouling phenolic resin (TPP resin) was synthesized using tyrosine as a natural phenol source. TPP exhibited shell-like surface morphology with micro-ripples and excellent anti-adhesion properties against bacteria and diatom. The micro-ripples surface might be caused by the strong hydrogen bonding or ionic interaction among tyrosine units resulting in microphase separation during the curing process. Tyrosine content in TPP resin has a great influence on the surface properties, morphology and antifouling characteristics. The higher the tyrosine content, the higher is the surface hydrophilicity, the denser and more regular is the micro-ripples morphology, and the stronger is the antifouling performance. TPP-60 % exhibited the best antifouling performance. Combination of the surface hydrophilicity and regular micro-ripples surface morphology afford TPP excellent antifouling performance. TPP resins offer a broad prospect for developing phenolic resin in the antifouling field.

Abstract
ConspectusMarine organisms such as barnacle larvae and spores of algae adhere to underwater surfaces leading to marine biofouling. This phenomenon has numerous adverse impacts on marine industries and maritime activities. Due to the diversity of fouling organisms and the complexity of the marine environment, it is a huge challenge to combat marine biofouling, which limits the development and utilization of marine resources. Since the International Marine Organization banned the use of tributyltin self-polishing copolymer (SPC) coatings in 2008, the development of an environmentally friendly and efficient anti-biofouling polymer has been the most important task in this field. Tin-free SPC is a well-established and widely used polymer binder for anti-biofouling coating today. Being a nondegradable vinyl polymer, SPC exhibits poor anti-biofouling performance in static conditions. Even more, such nondegradable polymers were considered to be a source of microplastics by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature in 2019. Recently, numerous degradable polymers, which can form dynamic surface through main chain scission, have been developed for preventing marine biofouling in static conditions. Nevertheless, the regulation of their degradation and mechanical properties is limited, and they are also difficult to functionalize. A new polymer combining the advantages of vinyl polymers and degradable polymers is needed. However, such a combination is a challenge since the former are synthesized via free radical polymerization whereas the latter are synthesized via ring-opening polymerization.In this Account, we review our recent progress toward degradable vinyl polymers for marine anti-biofouling in terms of polymerization methods and structures and properties of polymers. First, we introduce the strategies for preparing degradable vinyl polymers with an emphasis on hybrid copolymerization. Then, we present the synthesis and performance of degradable and hydrolyzable polyacrylates, degradable polyurethanes with hydrolyzable side groups, and surface-fragmenting hyperbranched polymers. Polymers with degradable main chains and hydrolyzable side groups combine the advantages of SPC and degradable polymers, so they are degradable and functional. They are becoming new-generation polymers with great potential for preparing high-efficiency, long-lasting, environmentally friendly and broad-spectrum coatings to inhibit marine biofouling. They can also find applications in wastewater treatment, biomedical materials, and other fields.

Abstract
The development of high-performance anti-biofouling surfaces is paramount for controlling bacterial attachment and biofilm growth in biomedical devices, food packing, and filtration membranes. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), a carbon-nanotube-like nanomaterial, have emerged as renewable and sustainable antimicrobial agents. However, CNCs inactivate bacteria under contact-mediated mechanisms, limiting its antimicrobial property mostly to the attached bacteria. This study describes the combination of CNCs with silver nanoparticles (CNC/Ag) as a strategy to increase their toxicity and anti-biofouling performance. CNC/Ag-coated surfaces inactivated over 99% of the attached Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis cells compared to 66.9 and 32.9% reduction shown by the pristine CNC, respectively. CNC/Ag was also very toxic to planktonic cells, displaying minimal inhibitory of 25 and 100 μg/mL against B. subtilis and E. coli, respectively. CNC/Ag seems to inactivate bacteria through an "attacking-attacking" mechanism where CNCs and silver nanoparticles play different roles. CNCs can kill bacteria by piercing the cell membrane. This physical membrane stress-mediated mechanism is demonstrated as lipid vesicles release their encapsulated dye upon contact with CNCs. Once the cell membrane is punctured, silver ions can enter the cell passively and compromise the integrity of DNA and other organelles. Inside the cells, Ag+ may damage the cell membrane by selectively interacting with sulfur and nitrogen groups of enzymes and proteins or by harming DNA via accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, CNC/Ag toxicity seems to combine the puncturing effect of the needle-like CNC and the silver's ability to impair the cell membrane and DNA functionalities.

Abstract
Fe-based amorphous coatings with outstanding corrosion resistance are promise for marine applications. However, these coatings encounter a great challenge of biofouling in marine environments. Inspired by the unique micro-nano hierarchical structure of shark skin with excellent antifouling properties, in this paper, we construct a bioinspired Fe-based amorphous coating with killing-resisting dual-effect via proper surface modifications, i.e., the modification with micro-patterned nanostructured Cu2O fibers (killing effect), followed by the modification with superhydrophobic surface (resisting effect). As a result, the modified amorphous coating exhibits impressive antifouling properties, achieving 98.6% resistance to Nitzschia closterium f. minutissima, 87% resistance to Bovine serum albumin protein and 99.8% resistance to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively. The remarkable antifouling performance is attributed to a synergistic antifouling mechanism from both resisting effect and killing effect, wherein the superhydrophobic surface provides a barrier to resist protein adsorption, while the patterned nanostructured Cu2O fibers supply Cu+ ions to kill bacterial cells. In addition, the modified amorphous coating also exhibits excellent mechanical robustness, which ensures the durability of the Fe-based amorphous coating in practical services. This work may promote the development of new durable metal-based coatings integrated with anti-fouling and anti-corrosion properties.

Abstract
This research aims to investigate nonionic hyperbranched polyesters (HBPs) derived from indole and lignin resources as new nontoxic antimicrobial coatings. Three nonionic HBPs with zero to two methoxy ether substituents on each benzene ring in the polymer backbones were synthesized by melt-polycondensation of three corresponding AB2 monomers. The molecular structures and thermal properties of the obtained HBPs were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry analyses. These HBPs were conveniently spin-coated on a silicon substrate, which exhibited significant antibacterial effect against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis). The presence of methoxy substituents enhanced the antimicrobial effect, and the resulting polymers showed negligible leakage in water. Finally, the polymers with the methoxy functionality exhibited excellent biocompatibility according to the results of hemolysis and MTT assay, which may facilitate their biomedical applications.

Suppression of protein
adsorption is a necessary property for materials
used in the living body. In this study, thermoresponsive and degradable
hydrogels were prepared by the radical polymerization of 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane,
2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), and poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate
(PEGMA). The prepared hydrogels re-exposed PEG-grafted chains to the
interface through surface degradation, which was confirmed by the
maintenance of the chemical composition of the hydrogel surfaces after
hydrolysis. Notably, adsorbed proteins can be removed from the hydrogel
surfaces through hydrogel surface degradation at least thrice.

Abstract
In this study, a composite multilayer film onto gold was constructed from two charged building blocks, i.e., negatively charged graphene oxide (GO) and a branched polycation (polyethylenimine, PEI) via layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technology, and this process was monitored in situ with quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) under different experimental conditions. This included the differences in frequency (Δf) as well as the changes in dissipation to yield information on the absorbed mass and viscoelastic properties of the formed PEI/GO multilayer films. The experimental conditions were optimized to obtain a high amount of the adsorbed mass of the self-assembled multilayer film. The surface morphology of the PEI/GO multilayer film onto gold was studied with atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the positively charged PEI chains were combined with the oppositely charged GO to form an assembled film on the QCM sensor surface, in a wrapped and curled fashion. Raman and UV-vis spectra also showed that the intensities of the GO-characteristic signals are almost linearly related to the layer number. To explore the films for their use in divalent ion detection, the frequency response of the PEI/GO multilayer-modified QCM sensor to the exposure of aqueous solutions solution of Cu2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, and Sn2+ was further studied using QCM. Based on the Sauerbrey equation and the weight of different ions, the number of metal ions adsorbed per unit area on the surface of QCM sensors was calculated. For metal ion concentrations of 40 ppm, the adsorption capacities per unit area of Cu2+, Zn2+, Sn2+, and Ca2+ were found to be 1.7, 3.2, 0.7, and 4.9 nmol/cm2, respectively. Thus, in terms of the number of adsorbed ions per unit area, the QCM sensor modified by PEI/GO multilayer film shows the largest adsorption capacity of Ca2+. This can be rationalized by the relative hydration energies.

Abstract
To deal with unwanted biofouling adsorption, which impacts the economy and the environment, significant research has been devoted to composite systems involving a photocatalyst combined with self-renewal resin to provide synergistic antifouling. Here, photocatalyst based on three-dimensional (3D) network of carbon-oxygen-doped nitrogen-deficient carbon nitride and acrylic fluoroboron polymer as a system was successfully synthesized. 3D networks carbon nitride with carbon-oxygen dopants and nitrogen defects were prepared as skeletons, which effectively support and regulate the hydrolysis rate of the polymer. These composite systems exhibits excellent diatom anti-adhesion performance and high antibacterial rates for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus of up to 91.87% and 88.52%, respectively. In addition, self-cleaning function of the composite system are proved by and higher efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal owing to efficient charge-carrier separation and transfer within the 3D network carbon nitride network. The great potential applications of this strategy demonstrated in marine engineering in the future.
