This book reviews the development of antifouling surfaces and materials for both land and
marine environments with an emphasis on marine anti biofouling. It explains the differences
and intrinsic relationship between antifouling in land and marine environments which are based
on superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity respectively. It covers various topics including
biomimetic antifouling and self-cleaning surfaces grafted polymer brushes and micro
nanostructure surfaces with antifouling properties as well as marine anti biofouling. Marine
anti biofouling includes both historical biocidal compounds (tributyltin copper and zinc) and
current green non-toxic antifouling strategies. This book is intended for those readers who
are interested in grasping the fundamentals and applications of antifouling. Feng Zhou is a
professor at the State Key Laboratory of Solid Lubrication Lanzhou Institute of Chemical
Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences.
