Résumé

The most common commercially used technique to control biofouling in marine and freshwater environments is the use of paints and other coatings containing copper or other metal organocomplexes. In this study, the authors examined the possible use of environmentally responsive polymers as a new class of fouling release agents; a surface-grafted thermally responsive polymer, poly (N-isopropylacrylamide), was used as a model compound. Based on the authors' observations of the behaviour of this model system, they suggest that environmentally responsive polymers represent a new approach for controlling biofouling release.
