Biofouling on marine vessels and bacterial growth on biomedical surfaces bring
huge economic loss to our society. Traditional antifouling and antibacterial
surfaces contain toxic substances or antibiotics, which can threaten the
environments and raise the risk of inducing drug-resistance strains. In the
long-term evolution process of natural organisms, they present multiple
functions through the joint action of their own morphology, structure, and
other factors to achieve the maximum adaptation to the environment. Many of
natural organisms have developed antifouling and antibacterial strategies.
Inspired by these strategies, lots of artificial surfaces have been fabricated
and tested. They are highly efficient and environmental-compatibility, and
they have potential to achieve enhanced antifouling capabilities and desirable
properties by combining the characteristics of novel materials. This book
focuses on the research and application of bioinspired antifouling surfaces in
the two major fields—marine industry and biomedical field. It is intended for
mechanical manufacturing and biomedical researchers, professionals and
students.
