Engineering nanoscale roughness on hydrophobic surface—preliminary assessment of fouling behaviour

Abstract

A preliminary investigation of the fouling behaviour of smooth and roughened superhydrophobic coatings is reported. The effect of nanoscale interfacial roughness on the adhesion of single (SW8) and mixed cultures of micro-foulant for periods of up to 6 months was assessed using visual and wettability measurements. Detailed analysis indicated virtually no micro-organism attached to the superhydrophobic surfaces in the first weeks of immersion. As a result by comparison with smooth substrates, whichexhibited fouling within a day, very rough (roughness ratio <2.7) surfaces exhibited high resistance to fouling over a 6-month period. However, after periods exceeding 2 months under ocean conditions, both films showed limited anti-fouling properties. There appears to be a correlation between the nature of the nanoscale roughness in the creation of superhydrophobic coatings and their potential anti-fouling properties. The future architecture of such a correlation is investigated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
