Journal Article
Rawlinson, J. M., Cox, H. J., Hopkins, G., Cahill, P., & Badyal, J. P. S. (2023). Nature-inspired trapped air cushion surfaces for environmentally sustainable antibiofouling. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 656, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2022.130491

Feathers of seabirds and waterfowl (for example the mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos)) consist of hierarchical fibrillar structures encapsulated with hydrophobic preen oil. These characteristics afford waterproofing through the entrapment of air pock... Read More about Nature-inspired trapped air cushion surfaces for environmentally sustainable antibiofouling.

Anti-biofouling functional surfaces for marine aquaculture (2022)
Journal Article
Cox, H. J., Cooper, I., Kaspar, H. F., Packer, M. A., & Badyal, J. P. S. (2022). Anti-biofouling functional surfaces for marine aquaculture. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 639, Article 128313. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2022.128313

Aquaculture is a global-scale industry providing sustainable production of protein-rich foods required to feed the growing world population. Microalgae cultivation in aquaculture bioreactors can exude extracellular polymeric substances leading to bio... Read More about Anti-biofouling functional surfaces for marine aquaculture.
