INInês NunesBVBruno J. C. VieiraJWJoão C. Bentes Waerenborgh

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop effective antifouling coatings using cyclam-based copper and iron complexes to reduce biofouling.
  • Synthesis of cyclam-based copper(II) and iron(III) complexes
  • Evaluation of antifouling properties against microorganisms
  • Testing coatings on submerged surfaces
  • Cyclam-based complexes showed significant reduction in biofouling
  • Coatings demonstrated durability and efficiency over regular surfaces
  • Enhanced performance compared to traditional antifouling agents

Abstract

Biofouling, the accumulation of microorganisms and macroorganisms on submerged surfaces, is responsible for equipment degradation and increased maintenance costs. Several efforts have been made for the development of efficient antifouling...
