Nature provides many examples of mechanisms to control fouling. These defences can be copied (biomimetic) or tailored (bioinspired) to solve problems of fouling on manmade structures. With increasing research in this area over the last two decades, it is timely to review this burgeoning subject, in particular as the biofouling field shifts focus towards novel, physical mechanisms to prevent and control fouling. This change is being promoted by advances in nano- and micro-scale patterning as well as in a variety of nano-biotechnologies, which are transforming the translation of natural surfaces into experimental materials. In this article, research on the defence of marine organisms against fouling and the technologies they are defining is reviewed.
自然界提供了许多控制污垢的机制。这些防御机制可以被复制（仿生学）或定制（生物灵感），以解决人造结构上的污垢问题。在过去的二十年中，该领域的研究不断增加，现在是时候对这个迅速发展的课题进行回顾了，特别是因为生物污垢领域的重点正在转向新的物理机制，以防止和控制污垢。这种转变是由纳米和微尺度图案化以及各种纳米生物技术的进步推动的，这些技术正在将自然表面转化为实验材料。本文综述了海洋生物对抗污垢的防御机制及其所定义的技术的研究进展。
