Marine biofouling profoundly influences marine industries and activities. It slows the speed and increases the fuel consumption of ships, corrodes offshore platforms, and blocks seawater pipelines. The most effective and economical antifouling approach uses coatings. Fouling-release coatings (FRCs) with low surface free energy and high elasticity weakly adhere to marine organisms, so they can be readily removed by the water shear force. FRCs have attracted increasing interest because they are biocide-free and hence ecofriendly. However, traditional silicone-based FRCs have weak adhesion to substrates, low mechanical strength, and low fouling resistance, limiting their applications. In recent years, many attempts have been made to improve their mechanical properties and fouling resistance. This review deals with the progress in the construction of high-performance silicone-based fouling-release surfaces.
海洋生物附着对海洋产业和活动有深远影响。它会降低船舶的速度并增加燃料消耗，腐蚀海上平台，并堵塞海水管道。最有效和经济的防污方法是使用涂料。具有低表面自由能和高弹性的防污释放涂料 (FRC) 与海洋生物的附着力较弱，因此很容易被水剪切力去除。由于不含杀生物剂，因此环保，FRC 越来越受到关注。然而，传统的硅基 FRC 与基材的附着力较弱、机械强度低、抗污性差，限制了其应用。近年来，人们尝试了许多方法来提高其机械性能和抗污性。本文综述了高性能硅基防污释放表面的构建进展。
