This systematic review examines effects of surface texture on marine biofouling and characterizes key research methodologies. Seventy-five published articles met selection criteria for qualitative analysis; experimental data from 36 underwent quantitative meta-analysis. Most studies investigated fouling mechanisms and antifouling performance only in laboratory assays with one to several test species. Textures were almost exclusively a single layer of regularly arranged geometric features rather than complex hierarchical or irregular designs. Textures in general had no effect or an inconclusive effect on fouling in 46% of cases. However, effective textures more often decreased (35%) rather than increased (19%) fouling. Complex designs were more effective against fouling (51%) than were regular geometric features (32%). Ratios of feature height, width, or pitch to organism body length were significant influences. The authors recommend further research on promising complex and hierarchical texture designs with more test species, as well as field studies to ground-truth laboratory results.
本系统评价考察了表面纹理对海洋生物附着的影响，并对关键研究方法进行了描述。有 75 篇已发表的文章符合定性分析的选择标准；36 篇的实验数据进行了定量荟萃分析。大多数研究仅在实验室试验中调查了生物污损机制和防污性能，使用了一到几种试验物种。纹理几乎完全是单层规则排列的几何特征，而不是复杂的层次或不规则的设计。纹理在 46%的情况下对生物附着没有影响或没有明确的影响。然而，有效的纹理更经常减少（35%）而不是增加（19%）生物附着。复杂的设计比规则的几何特征（32%）更有效地防止生物附着（51%）。特征高度、宽度或间距与生物体长度的比例是重要的影响因素。作者建议对具有更多试验物种的有前途的复杂和层次纹理设计进行进一步研究，以及对现场研究进行实地试验结果。
