Antifouling Marine Coatings with a Potentially Safer and Sustainable Synthetic Polyphenolic Derivative

The development of harmless substances to replace biocide-based coatings used to prevent or manage marine biofouling and its unwanted consequences is urgent. The formation of biofilms on submerged marine surfaces is one of the first steps in the marine biofouling process, which facilitates the further settlement of macrofoulers.
