Subjects: Engineering systems research, Fouling, Industrial applications, Biological interfaces, Sustainable development
Abstract: The attachment of microbial biomass on solid surfaces is a universal phenomenon that occurs in natural and engineering systems and is responsible for various types of biofouling. Biological fouling, also referred to as biofouling, remains one of the most critical problems toward the durable application of materials. The eradication of this problem using sustainable and environmentally friendly techniques is still of critical importance and is therefore receiving significant interest from researchers worldwide. The authors start with a definition of processes that lead to biofouling and their relevance to various industrial applications. The most relevant findings from past research are presented and particular emphasis is focused on present research, where recent developments in surface modification receive specific attention.
