Strong adhesion of poly(vinyl alcohol) –glycerol hydrogels onto metal substrates for marine antifouling applications

Soft Matter, 2020, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C9SM01413F, PaperHeng-Wei Zhu, Jia-Nan Zhang, Pei Su, Tianqi Liu, Changcheng He, Danqing Feng, Huiliang Wang PVA –glycerol gels, which were adhered onto metal substrates by using adhesives, were employed as robust antifouling coating materials. The adhesion stability and antifouling performances of the hydrogel coating against barnacles were investigated.
