How Does Nanotechnology Improve Anti-Fouling Coatings?
Nanotechnology significantly enhances anti-fouling coatings by introducing materials and structures at the nanoscale. These nano-based coatings can be designed to have specific properties like hydrophobicity, biocidal activity, and self-cleaning capabilities. The nanoscale features prevent microorganisms from adhering to the surface, thereby reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance.
