Marine antifouling effectiveness increases with the incorporation of cellulose nanofibers and molybdenum disulfide nanosheets, enhancing material durability.
The formulation shows significant resistance to biofouling when tested against common marine organisms like barnacles and algae.
This study employs a combination of material analysis and performance testing to validate the hydrogel's antifouling capabilities.
Enhancement of marine surfaces against fouling could lead to reduced maintenance costs, indicating significant practical implications for maritime applications.
