Abstract
Affinity-based electrochemical (AEC) biosensors have gained more attention in the field of point-of-care management. However, AEC sensing is hampered by biofouling of the electrode surface and degradation of the antifouling material. Therefore, a breakthrough in antifouling nanomaterials is crucial for the fabrication of reliable AEC biosensors. Herein, for the first time, we propose 1-pyrenebutyric acid-functionalized MXene to develop an antifouling nanocomposite to resist biofouling in the immunosensors. The nanocomposite consisted of a 3D porous network of bovine serum albumin cross-linked with glutaraldehyde with functionalized MXene as conductive nanofillers, where the inherited oxidation resistance property of functionalized MXene improved the electrochemical lifetime of the nanocomposite. On the other hand, the size-extruded porous structure of the nanocomposite inhibited the biofouling activity on the electrode surface for up to 90 days in real samples. As a proof of concept, the antifouling nanocomposite was utilized to fabricate a multiplexed immunosensor for the detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) and ferritin biomarkers. The fabricated sensor showed good selectivity over time and an excellent limit of detection for CRP and ferritin of 6.2 and 4.2 pg/mL, respectively. This research successfully demonstrated that functionalized MXene-based antifouling nanocomposites have great potential to develop high-performance and low-cost immunosensors.

Abstract
Antibacterial coatings are becoming increasingly attractive for application in the field of biomaterials. In this framework, we developed polymer coating zirconia with antibacterial activity using the "grafting from" methodology. First, 1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-3-butylimidazolium chloride monomer was synthesized. Then, the surface modification of zirconia substrates was performed with this monomer via surface-initiated photo atom transfer radical polymerization for antibacterial activity. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ellipsometry, static contact angle measurements, and an atomic force microscope were used to characterize the films for each step of the surface modification. The results revealed that cationic polymers could be successfully deposited on the zirconia surfaces, and the thickness of the grafted layer steadily increased with polymerization time. Finally, the antibacterial adhesion test was used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the modified zirconia substrates, and we successfully showed the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.

Abstract
Biofouling is an urgent problem that has to be solved in marine industries. As the traditional antifouling coating loses its antifouling ability after being damaged, the introduction of self-healing performance into the antifouling coating becomes a high priority. Accordingly, we report here a self-healing and antifouling polyurethane composite coating (PCL/MPU-Si/M) with the use of its carbonyl groups as multiple hydrogen bond acceptors. Its fabrication is carried out under mild and solvent-free conditions, forming a "cross-linking" network structure composed of alternately strong and weak bonds based on multiple carbonyl groups. The self-healing efficiency of PCL/MPU-Si/M in tensile strength is 85% after 48 h at room temperature, and higher temperatures can accelerate this self-healing process. Lubricant polydimethylsiloxane and antifoulant medetomidine endow the material with antifouling properties. The maximum antibacterial ability and algae inhibition coverage ability are 91.7 and 90.9%, respectively. This work provides a possible perspective for the design of antifouling and self-healing marine coatings.

Abstract
In this study, a series of novel hydrophobic/hydrophilic hybrid (HHH) coatings with the feature of preventing the fouling phenomenon was fabricated based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), as matrix and two hydrophilic polymers: chitosan and sodium polyacrylate, as dispersed phases. Antibacterial activity, pseudo-barnacle adhesion strength, surface free energy, water contact angle, and water absorption were performed for all samples. Evaluating field immersion of the samples was performed in the natural seawater. The results showed that the dispersed phase containing PDMS coatings showed simultaneously both of antibacterial activity and foul release behavior. Among the samples, the PCs4 coating containing 4 wt% Cs indicated the lowest pseudo barnacle adhesion strength (0.04 MPa), the lowest surface free energy (18.94 mN/m), the highest water contact angle (116.05°), and the percentage of fouling organisms 9.8 % after 30 days immersion. The HHH coatings can be considered as novel eco-friendly antifouling/foul release coatings for aquaculture applications.

Abstract
The development of polymeric materials as antifouling coatings for aquaculture nets is elaborated in the present work. In this context, cross-linked polymeric systems based on quaternary ammonium compounds (immobilized or releasable) prepared under mild aqueous conditions were introduced as a more environmentally friendly methodology for coating nets on a large scale. To optimize the duration of action of the coatings, a multilayer coating method was applied by combining the antimicrobial organo-soluble copolymer poly(cetyltrimethylammonium 4-styrenesulfonate-co-glycidyl methacrylate) [P(SSAmC16-co-GMA20)] as the first layer with either the water-soluble copolymer poly(vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride-co-acrylic acid) [P(VBCTMAM-co-AA20)] or the water-soluble polymers poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(hexamethylene guanidine), PHMG, as the second layer. The above-mentioned approach, followed by thermal cross-linking of the polymeric coatings, resulted in stable materials with controlled release of the biocidal species. The coated nets were studied in terms of their antifouling efficiency under accelerated biofouling conditions as well as under real conditions in an aquaculture field. Resistance to biofouling after three water-nutrient replenishments was observed under laboratory accelerated biofouling conditions. In addition, at the end of the field test (day 23) the uncoated nets were completely covered by marine contaminants, while the coated nets remained intact over most of their extent.

Capsaicin-Modified Fluorosilicone Based Acrylate Coating for Marine Anti-Biofouling. COATINGS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/coatings12070988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Capsaicin has been extensively studied for its excellent antifouling activity and very low environmental toxicity. However, mixing natural capsaicin with coatings can cause rapid capsaicin leakage, severely shortening its antifouling cycle. In this study, we describe the preparation and performance of a new capsaicin-modified marine antifouling organofluorosilicone, which is based on silicone and fluorine acrylate monomers covalently bound to an organic antimicrobial monomer, HMBA (N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-acrylamide) on a polymer network. The chemical grafting of HMBA into the polymer has improved the problem of short antifouling life of the coating due to antifouling agent leakage and the environmental pollution caused by the leakage. The study focused on the synthesis of pristine acrylate monomers with organic bioactive groups prepared from vanillin amine salts and their co-polymerization in the presence of distal acrylate oligomers. The resulting cross-linked films were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, contact angle, and adhesion analyses. The results indicate that the materials had good adhesion, low surface energy, and were resistant to prolonged immersion in water. The polyacrylate coating synthesized from acrylate exhibited antibacterial and anti-algae activity. Biological tests on the marine microorganisms, Pseudomonas species, Shewanella species, and Navicula incerta, revealed a 97%, 98%, and 99% reduction compared to the blank control group, respectively, indicating that the coating has strong anti-adhesive ability. This work is expected to develop a promising material for marine antifouling.

Anti-Fouling Performance of Hydrophobic Hydrogels with Unique Surface Hydrophobicity and Nanoarchitectonics. Gels 2022; 8:gels8070407.

Abstract
Hydrogel is a kind of soft and wet matter, which demonstrates favorable fouling resistance owing to the hydration anti-adhesive surfaces. Different from conventional hydrogels constructed by hydrophilic or amphiphilic polymers, the recently invented “hydrophobic hydrogels” composed of hydrophobic polymers exhibit many unique properties, e.g., surface hydrophobicity and high water content, suggesting promising applications in anti-fouling. In this paper, a series of hydrophobic hydrogels were prepared with different chemical structures and water content for anti-fouling investigations. The hydrophobic hydrogels showed high static water contact angles (WCAs > 90°), indicating remarkable surface hydrophobicity, which is abnormal for conventional hydrogels. Compared with the conventional hydrogels, all the hydrophobic hydrogels exhibited less than 4% E. coli biofilm coverage, showing a contrary trend of anti-fouling ability to the water content inside the polymer. Typically, the poly(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acrylate) (PCBA) and poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate) (PTHFA) hydrogels with relatively high surface hydrophobicity showed as low as 5.1% and 2.4% E. coli biofilm coverage even after incubation for 7 days in bacteria suspension, which are about 0.32 and 0.15 times of that on the hydrophilic poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) hydrogels, respectively. Moreover, the hydrophobic hydrogels exhibited a similar anti-adhesion ability and trend to algae S. platensis. Based on the results, the surface hydrophobicity mainly contributes to the excellent anti-fouling ability of hydrophobic hydrogels. In the meantime, the too-high water content may be somehow detrimental to anti-fouling performance.

Abstract
Long-term and green marine antifouling coatings are an important means to prolong the service life of ships and other marine instruments and equipment. To accomplish this, we prepared three new green and high-efficiency antifouling coatings containing phthalimide derivatives inspired by capsaicin (PDIC-AC) by using a collaborative strategy that incorporates self-polishing, fouling repelling, and antifouling properties. Static simulation tests confirmed that the zinc acrylate resin of the PDIC-AC has excellent self-polishing properties due to changes in the roughness, surface free energy, and mass loss. Antifouling tests demonstrated that both PDIC and PDIC-AC possess efficient antibacterial and anti-algal effects. Moreover, marine field tests showed that the PDIC-AC are highly antifouling for at least 9 months, and their antifouling effect is similar to that of an antifouling coating with chlorothalonil (CT-AC). The collaborative strategy in this study can be used to research and develop long-term environmentally friendly antifouling coatings.

Abstract
Great attention has been paid to silicone-based fouling-release coatings (FRCs) in the realm of maritime antifouling due to their highly efficient and eco-friendly properties, but many challenges remain for developing a silicone-based FRC that improves its adhesion performance without reducing the antifouling property. Herein, a non-toxic silicone-based FRC has been developed by integrating acrylic resin (AR) with a silicon resin (PDMS) to spontaneously form a self-stratified AR/PDMS coating. The AR/PDMS antifouling coating still has the same fouling-release performance but improved adhesion strength (from 0.4 to 2.0 MPa) in comparison with pristine PDMS. Moreover, the antifouling coating has proven to be extremely stable in different environments (such as pH, heating, and ultraviolet exposure). The study provides a facile and convenient self-stratified strategy to develop antifouling coatings, contributing to environmentally friendly coatings in marine applications.

Abstract
Marine biofouling which interferes with normal marine operation and also causes huge economic loss has become a worldwide problem. With the development of society, there is an urgent need to develop non-toxic and efficient anti-fouling strategies. Capsaicin is an environmentally friendly antifouling agent, but controlling the stable release of capsaicin from the coating is still a challenge to be solved. To achieve long-lasting antifouling property, in this work, we incorporate a derivative of capsaicin N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)acrylamide (HMBA) to prepare double network (DN) hydrogels and make HMBA a part of the polymer network. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has good hydrophilicity, and as a soft and ductile network, acrylamide (AM) and HMBA can polymerize to generate a rigid and brittle network. By adjusting the content of HMBA in the DN hydrogels, we can obtain a PVA–PAHX hydrogel with high mechanical strength, low swelling rate, and excellent antifouling effect, which provides a feasible way for the practical application of a hydrogel coating in long-term marine antifouling. Double-network hydrogel coatings containing capsaicin analogs were prepared by a one-pot method based on a green strategy, by incorporating a derivative of capsaicin N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl) acrylamide into the polymer network. An antifouling effect can be achieved.![]()

Abstract
In this study, eight polyphenol derivatives were prepared to serve as green antifoulants. Polyphenol derivatives, which can hinder the growth of bacteria and algae and decrease the adhesion of some marine organisms, showed good AF activity; in particular, the activities of these derivatives were much higher than those of the corresponding polyphenols. The antibacterial rates of the products (20 μg ml-1) exceeded 88%. Moreover, the anti-algal rates of compounds a3, b1, b2, b3 and b4 (15 μg ml-1) were over 57% at 240 h, but these compounds showed low toxicity, and the 120 h EC50 values were > 6.60 μg ml-1. In addition, there were fewer marine microorganisms on the test panel than on the control. The above results show that some polyphenol derivatives possess relatively high antibacterial, anti-algal, and AF activity; more notably, the addition of chlorine atoms and amide groups can further increase the activity of these derivatives.

Abstract
Marine biofouling remains one of the key challenges for maritime industries, both for seafaring and stationary structures. Currently used biocide-based approaches suffer from significant drawbacks, coming at a significant cost to the environment into which the biocides are released, whereas novel environmentally friendly approaches are often difficult to translate from lab bench to commercial scale. In this article, current biocide-based strategies and their adverse environmental effects are briefly outlined, showing significant gaps that could be addressed through advanced materials engineering. Current research towards the use of natural antifouling products and strategies based on physio-chemical properties is then reviewed, focusing on the recent progress and promising novel developments in the field of environmentally benign marine antifouling technologies based on advanced nanocomposites, synergistic effects and biomimetic approaches are discussed and their benefits and potential drawbacks are compared to existing techniques.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria have become global threats to public health. Since the advent of antibiotics about 100 years ago, their use has been embraced with great enthusiasm because of their effective treatment of bacterial infections. However, the evolution of pathogenic bacteria with resistance to conventional antibiotics has resulted in an urgent need for the development of a new generation of antibiotics. The use of antimicrobial polymers offers the promise of enhancing the efficacy of antimicrobial agents. Of the various antibacterial polymers that effectively eradicate pathogenic bacteria, those that are nanoengineered have garnered significant research interest in their design and biomedical applications. Because of their high surface area and high reactivity, these polymers show greater antibacterial activity than conventional antibacterial agents, by inhibiting the growth or destroying the cell membrane of pathogenic bacteria. This review summarizes several strategies for designing nanoengineered antibacterial polymers, explores the factors that affect their antibacterial properties, and examines key features of their design. It then comments briefly on the future prospects for nanoengineered antibacterial polymers. This review thus provides a feasible guide to developing nanoengineered antibacterial polymers by presenting both broad and in-depth bench research, and it offers suggestions for their potential in biomedical applications.

BIO-INSPIRED MAGNETIC BEADS FOR ISOLATION OF SPERM FROM HETEROGENOUS SAMPLES IN FORENSIC APPLICATIONS. Forensic Sci Int Genet 2020; 52:102451.

Abstract
Rapid and efficient processing of sexual assault evidence will accelerate forensic investigation and decrease casework backlogs. The standardized protocols currently used in forensic laboratories require the continued innovation to handle the increasing number and complexity of samples being submitted to forensic labs. Here, we present a new technique leveraging the integration of a bio-inspired oligosaccharide (i.e., Sialyl-LewisX) with magnetic beads that provides a rapid, inexpensive, and easy-to-use strategy that can potentially be adapted with current differential extraction practice in forensics labs. This platform (i) selectively captures sperm; (ii) is sensitive within the forensic cut-off; (iii) provides a cost effective solution that can be automated with existing laboratory platforms; and (iv) handles small volumes of sample (∼200 μL). This strategy can rapidly isolate sperm within 25 minutes of total processing that will prepare the extracted sample for downstream forensic analysis and ultimately help accelerate forensic investigation and reduce casework backlogs.

Abstract
Crosslinked polymeric materials based on a quaternary trimethylammonium compound were developed and evaluated as potential antifouling coatings. For this purpose, two water-soluble random copolymers, poly(4-vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride-co-acrylic acid) P(VBCTMAM-co-AAx) and poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-co-glycidylmethacrylate) P(DMAm-co-GMAx), were synthesized via free radical polymerization. A water based approach for the synthesis of P(VBCTMAM-co-AAx) copolymer was used. Coatings of the complementary reactive copolymers in different compositions were obtained by curing at 120 °C for one day and were used to coat aquaculture nets. These nets were evaluated in respect to their release rate using Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Total Nitrogen (TN) measurements. Finally, the antifouling efficacy of these newly-composed durable coatings was investigated for 14 days in accelerated conditions. The results showed that this novel polymeric material provides contact-killing antifouling activity for a short time period, whereas it functions efficiently in biofouling removal after high-pressure cleaning.

Abstract
With the increasing demands to better the marine environment, environmentally friendly anti-fouling coatings have attracted attention from society. Adding hydrolyzable microcapsules without toxin to paints is a very useful and safe method to get bionic anti-fouling coatings with a micro-nano surface structure. Based on this trend, a form of environment-friendly microcapsules were prepared through mini-emulsion polymerization. The target microcapsules had a poly(urea-formaldehyde) (PUF) shell and a mixed core of silicone oil and capsaicin. Additionally, the microcapsules were introduced into zinc acrylate resin to obtain bionic anti-fouling coatings with micro-nano morphology. The effects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) molecular weight, stirring rate, and temperature on the morphology of the microcapsules were studied by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that spherical nanoparticles with smooth surfaces were obtained, and the mean diameter was approximately 1.38 μm when the molecular weight of PVA was 77 K, the stirring rate was 600 rpm and the temperature was 55 °C. Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR) results showed that the silicone oil and capsaicin were successfully encapsulated, the core materials of the microcapsules reached 72.37% and the yield of microcapsules was 68.91% by the Soxhlet method. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity, corrosion resistance and anti-fouling performance of the coatings were evaluated by the water contact angle, electrochemical and real-sea tests. The results indicated that the anti-fouling coatings had excellent hydrophobicity and anti-fouling performance due to the micro-nano convex structure and the release of core materials. Encouragingly, the anti-fouling coatings show excellent and long-term anti-fouling performance, which is expected to be widely applied in marine anti-fouling coatings.

Abstract
Capsaicin, which inhibits the attachment and growth of fouling organisms, is a bioactive substance that is generally recognized as a highly active environmental algaecide agent. Its derivatives are simple in structure and have been proven to have low toxicity and be environmentally friendly. Six capsaicin derivatives were synthesized via Friedel-Crafts alkylation and characterized using melting point (MP) analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The inhibition effect and toxicity of these compounds towards Phaeodactylum tricornutum (P. tricornutum), Skeletonema costatum (S. costatum) and Chaetoceros curvisetus (C. curvisetus) were tested. The capsaicin derivatives all showed inhibitory effects. In particular, compound E with over 95% (3 mg·L-1) inhibition and intermediate toxicity was superior to the other compounds, reflecting an environmentally friendly effect. This finding indicates that capsaicin derivatives possess the potential to become environmentally friendly algaecide agents. The fouling resistance of capsaicin derivatives incorporated into the coatings as antifouling agents was measured in the marine environment. The results showed that capsaicin derivatives possess excellent fouling resistance, with only a small amount of algae and muck attached to the tested panel at 90 days. The above results provide a scientific basis for the application of capsaicin derivatives as environmentally friendly antifouling agents.

Abstract
Composite coatings have attracted great attention as an eco-friendly and economic solution to prevent ship hulls from biofouling. Inspired by the unstable surfaces of marine organisms with antifouling properties, this study describes the preparation of graphene-silicone rubber composite membranes. The membranes are characterized by a low surface energy and an adjustable elastic modulus, and these properties are conducive to preventing biofouling. Bacterial attachment was tested under both quasi-static and hydrodynamic conditions, and one rigid polystyrene sheet was used as the control group to verify the antifouling effects of unstable surfaces. The polystyrene sheet and the elastic membranes showed similar antifouling performance under quasi-static conditions. However, under hydrodynamic conditions, the elastic membranes showed better antifouling performance than the rigid polystyrene sheet. The results obtained using a laser-displacement sensor showed that micron-scale deformations were present on the elastic surface, and a mechanical model was employed to verify this conclusion. This study first confirmed the antifouling effects of the unstable surface, and proposed a model to reveal the antifouling mechanism of the unstable surface. According to the bacterial attachment test, a new generation membrane was made showing antifouling capacity with just 0.36 wt% graphene included during the fabrication of the membrane. This study provided a deeper insight into the antifouling mechanism of the elastic surface, and the membrane (0.36 wt%) may be promising for practical applications.
