Hybrid Nanocomposites as a Biofouling Solution

A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Nanotechnology explores the use of photocatalytic nanomaterials to reduce marine biofouling. The authors describe the synthesis of nanomaterial coatings and their applications in marine environments to prevent micro and macro fouling caused by the development of undesired organisms such as bacteria and algae on water-submerged surfaces.
