Article Synopsis
- Biofouling is the accumulation of marine organisms on submerged surfaces, and this research evaluates phosphonium ion gels with varying components for their effectiveness as anti-fouling agents.
- Experiments were conducted in a seachest simulator in New Zealand, analyzing the impact of hydrophobicity and copper(II) oxide concentrations on anti-fouling performance.
- Results indicated that formulations with higher hydrophobicity performed better, while the copper biocide increased hydrophilicity, negatively affecting overall anti-fouling effectiveness.
