Multifunctional epoxy/ZnO/GO superhydrophobic coatings for integrated marine protection and hydrodynamic drag reduction.
Marine biofouling limits the efficacy of epoxy (EP) based marine coatings due to their inherent hydrophilic properties and easy bio-adaptability, leading to loss of barrier performance and increased hydrodynamic drag. To overcome these constraints, the present work demonstrates a multifunctional EP-based antibiofouling...
