由于在海洋防污涂料中使用有毒金属而引起的环境和人类健康问题，人们认识到需要一种无毒替代品来控制污垢。最近的研究集中在解决这个问题的两种方法上：开发（a）基于低表面自由能或涂层烧蚀原理的污垢释放涂层，以及（b）包含无毒或至少对环境无害的化合物的涂层，可防止结垢。在这里，我们讨论污垢问题的本质以及解决该问题的新技术。天然海洋产品和这些化合物的类似物的使用具有相当大的前景，并且是一个深入研究的领域。然而，人们认识到，可能需要融合污物释放和污物威慑技术来开发广谱、无毒的防污涂料。这种方法可能更准确地反映了海洋生物维持无污表面所采用的防污策略。
A consequence of environmental and human health concerns arising from the use of toxic metals in marine antifouling coatings has been to recognise the need for a nontoxic alternative to fouling control. Recent research has focused on two approaches to this problem: the development of (a) foul-release coatings that work on the principle of either low surface free energy or coating ablation, and (b) coatings that incorporate a compound(s) that is nontoxic, or at least environmentally benign, that will deter fouling. Here we discuss the nature of the fouling problem and a new technology that is emerging to address it. The use of natural marine products and of analogues to these compounds holds considerable promise and is an area of intense research. It is recognized, however, that a melding of the technologies of foul-release and foul-deterrence may be required to develop broad spectrum, nontoxic antifouling coatings. This approach may more closely reflect antifouling strategies adopted by marine organisms that maintain a foul-free surface.
