Synthesis and Evaluation of Cellulose Nanofiber Coatings to Prevent Biofouling

Project Description Marine biofouling on aquaculture infrastructure increases fuel and maintenance costs for the aquaculture industry. Current methods to prevent biofouling do not fully prevent organism attachment or use chemicals that are toxic to biofouling organisms as well as other marine life. Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) is a non-toxic material that is economically available at a … Continue reading Synthesis and Evaluation of Cellulose Nanofiber Coatings to Prevent Biofouling
