Anti-biofouling materials that combat microorganism attachment have been intensively studied due to the ever-growing demand on smart and durable coatings. Although various hydrophilic polymer surfaces demonstrated superior anti-biofouling properties, their practical application was hampered by the undesired mechanical vulnerability and complicated fabrication process. In this review, we summarized the mechanically and chemically robust anti-biofouling coatings into six strategies namely (i) 3D-grafted coatings, (ii) hierarchical spheres-based coatings, (iii) inorganic nanomaterials-reinforced coatings, (iv) hydrolysis-based coating, (v) semi-interpenetrating structure-based coatings, and (vi) layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled coatings. The anti-biofouling efficacy and durability of these coatings over a series of challenges were also comprehensively presented. The purpose of this review is to inspire researchers to develop novel anti-biofouling coatings for future practical applications.
由于对智能和耐用涂层的需求不断增长，人们对能抵抗微生物附着的抗生物污染材料进行了深入研究。尽管各种亲水聚合物表面表现出优异的抗生物污染性能，但由于机械强度差和制造工艺复杂，其实际应用受到了阻碍。在这篇综述中，我们将机械和化学稳定性强的抗生物污染涂层总结为六种策略，即（i）三维接枝涂层，（ii）分层球基涂层，（iii）无机纳米材料增强涂层，（iv）基于水解的涂层，（v）半互穿结构基涂层，和（vi）层层（LbL）组装涂层。我们还全面介绍了这些涂层在一系列挑战下的抗生物污染效果和耐久性。本综述的目的是启发研究人员开发新型抗生物污染涂层，以满足未来的实际应用需求。
