Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of the marine industry, biofouling and surface corrosion of underwater equipment have become major issues. For marine vessels, biofouling can promote surface deterioration, damage propellers, and increase drag, leading to high fuel consumption and excessive maintenance costs. Marine corrosion can reduce the surface strength of underwater equipment, inducing cracks on surfaces and resulting in serious security issues; thus, corrosion presents a challenge to the safety of seawater culture cages, wharfs, cross-sea bridges, submarine pipelines, and drilling platforms, etc. Surface coating techniques have shown promise as economical and efficient strategies to protect subsea surfaces from biofouling and corrosion. However, traditional antifouling and anticorrosion coatings cannot meet the current requirements because of some of the disadvantages, including toxicity and durability. This issue focuses on recently developed novel antifouling and anticorrosion coatings, which may contribute to the development of next-generation coatings.

This issue publishes original research papers, brief communications and reviews on topics including but not limited to:

  • Antifouling coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, integrated antifouling and anticorrosion coatings
  • Bioinspired antifouling and anticorrosion coatings, polymers, hydrogels, silicone coatings
  • Nanomaterials, biomaterials, and self-healing materials for marine applications
  • Chemical, physical and technological properties of antifouling and anticorrosion coatings
  • Performance, testing and analysis of coatings
  • Adhesion mechanisms of protein, bacteria, algae, and related fouling organisms

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Superhydrophobic coating with applicable transmittance was synthesized by simple UV-curable method which was likely suitable for large-scale production. The super-hydrophobicity was derived from the component containing modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes which was chosen for low free energy and the potential to form hierarchical structure. The coating adhesion could reach the highest level by strip tape peel test. Compared to the UV-cured commercial coatings, the coating adhesion is enhanced by at least two levels. Super-hydrophobicity was preserved after long duration of water droplet impact, while water contact angle decreased slightly after sand impact due to partial damage of hierarchical structure. The coating can resist chemical corrosion by acid solution (HCl), base solution (NaOH) and salt solution (NaCl). The coating with water repellence function, adequate transmittance, and good mechanical and chemical stability is of great interest for practical outdoor applications. Full article

The wettability and surface free energy of diamonds are crucial for their applications. In this study, polycrystalline boron-doped diamond (PBDD) films with different boron doping concentrations were prepared, and the effect of the boron doping concentration on the wettability and surface free energy (SFE) of the film was investigated. The SFEs of the PBDD films were investigated by employing the surface tension component approach and the equation-of-state approach. The investigation suggested that the alternative formulation of Berthelot’s rule, the Lifshitz-van der Waals/acid-base (van Oss) approach, and the Owens-Wendt-Kaelble approach were suitable for estimating the SFEs of PBDD films, whereas the Fowkes approach, Berthelot’s (geometric mean) combining rule, and Antonow’s rule could not provide reliable results. Results showed that the SFEs of PBDD films increased with increasing boron doping concentration, and the SFEs were 43.26–49.66 mJ/m2 (Owens-Wendt-Kaelble approach), 42.89–52.26 mJ/m2 (Lifshitz-van der Waals/acid-base), and 44.38–48.73 mJ/m2 (alternative formulation of Berthelot’s rule). This study also provides a reference for the application of empirical and physics-based semi-empirical approaches to SFE estimation. Full article

Metal corrosion causes huge economic losses and major disasters every year. Inspired by the lotus leaf and nepenthes pitcher, the superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) and the slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) were produced as a potential strategy to prevent metal corrosion. However, how to prepare stable water-repellent coatings that can prevent the intrusion of corrosive ions remains to investigate. In this work, we first fabricated a micro/nano hierarchical structure on the aluminum surface by femtosecond laser processing. Then, the SHS was prepared on the above structure by fluorosilane modification. Finally, the SLIPS was fabricated on the SHS by coating lubricant. The morphology and wettability of the fabricated samples were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurements. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance properties of SHS and SLIPS in simulated seawater were characterized by electrochemical measurements. From the comparison of the electrochemical parameters of different immersion times, both water-repellent coatings are effective in protecting the aluminum alloy from corrosion in simulated seawater due to reduced contact area between the metal substrate and corrosive solution. In comparison with the SHS, the SLIPS has a corrosion inhibition efficiency of up to 99.95% and it maintains long-term stability in the corrosive solution. This work also provides a promising method for the water-repellent coatings by femtosecond laser processing for metal corrosion prevention in practical industrial applications. Full article

The positive influence of chloride adsorption on the enhanced protection effect was always emphasized in the published literature. The concrete contribution of chloride adsorption and physical barrier effect of LDH in coatings still remains unclear at present. This work was aimed at exploring the significance of the chloride adsorption role of LDH in the corrosion protection of epoxy coatings. The synthesized LDH samples were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to show the influence of different parameters on its morphology, structure and composition, respectively. The corrosion-electrochemical behavior was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and salt spray test. It was found that although CaAl-LDH presented a lower chloride adsorption ability in comparison with other samples; it showed effective corrosion protection due to the higher physical barrier effect of CaAl-LDH with typically hexagonal and plate-like morphology due to good compatibility with the epoxy coatings. The results indicated that the corrosion protection effect of the incorporated LDH was more closely related to its physical barrier role rather than the role of the chloride adsorption, which was misunderstood in the previous publications. This work clarified the contribution comparison of the chloride adsorption and physical barrier of LDH in epoxy coating corrosion protection for the first time. Full article
