Surface engineering for non-toxic biofouling control
Abstract
There are tree principal approaches to control biofouling: 1) mechanical detachment of biofoulers if it is possible; 2) killing biofoulers using antibiotics, biocides, cleaning chemicals, etc. and 3) surface engineering, turning the substrate material into low-or non-sticking (non-adhesive) one. The current non-toxic biofouling control is based mainly on the third approach, ie on the idea for creation of “low-or non-adhesive” material surfaces, an approach firstly applied at the development of bioinert biomaterials where the strong hydrophilic “water like” surfaces appear to be more promising. Strong hydrophobic low energy surfaces are preferable in the industrial and marine biofouling control because of their stability in water media and less strong interactions with living cells. This overview includes physical-chemical parameters influencing the bioadhesion, biofouling and the cell/surface interactions as well as protein adsorption as a mediator of these phenomena, all they acting as a theoretical base of the non-toxic biofouling control. Some main surface engineering techniques and examples of successful biofouling control are also presented.
