Overview

Laboratory study demonstrates high antibacterial and antifouling performance of a bio-based coating, suggesting durable protection for marine and medical devices.

Key Points

To develop a multifunctional, environmentally compatible bio-based coating combining amphiphobicity, antifouling, and antibacterial properties inspired by beetle cuticle architecture.
Synthesized a castor oil-derived resin modified with fluorinated segments and glycidyl methacrylate-modified tannic acid (PCGBF@GT).
Fabricated the coating via a rapid ultraviolet curing process completed within 5 minutes.
Assessed surface reconfiguration dynamics and tested antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Fluorinated segments spontaneously migrated to the interface, imparting low surface energy for robust amphiphobicity and fouling resistance.
Modified tannic acid incorporated hydrogen-bonding interactions and positive zeta potential to stabilize the interface.
Achieved high antibacterial efficacy with bacterial elimination rates of 99.92 ± 0.90% against Escherichia coli and 99.83 ± 0.06% against Staphylococcus aureus.
