In the marine environment, the antifouling (AF) properties of various kinds of hydrogels against sessile marine organisms (algae, sea squirts, barnacles) were tested in a long-term experiment. The results demonstrate that most hydrogels can endure at least 2 months in the marine environment. In particular, mechanically tough PAMPS/PAAm DN and PVA gels exhibited AF activity against marine sessile organisms, especially barnacles, for as long as 330 days. The AF ability of hydrogels toward barnacles is explained in terms of an 'easy-release' mechanism in which the high water content and the elastic modulus of the gel are two important parameters.
在海洋环境中，通过长期实验测试了各种水凝胶对固着海洋生物（藻类、海鞘、藤壶）的防污（AF）性能。结果表明，大多数水凝胶在海洋环境中至少能耐受 2 个月。特别是机械强度高的 PAMPS/PAAm DN 和 PVA 凝胶对海洋固着生物（尤其是藤壶）表现出长达 330 天的防污活性。水凝胶对藤壶的防污能力可以用“易释放”机制来解释，其中高含水量和凝胶的弹性模量是两个重要参数。
