Abstract Biofouling is a major problem facing the marine industry. Since toxic antifouling coatings were banned globally due to their negative impacts on the marine environment, the development of environmental-friendly and efficient antifouling coatings has been identified as a pressing need. As an alternative, the antifouling coatings inspired by corals have attracted a great deal of attention over these years. within the marine environment, corals have evolved an excellent antifouling capability. There are five major antifouling strategies applied by corals, including natural antifoulants, foul release effect, sloughing effect, soft tentacles, and fluorescence effect. In this paper, a brief review is conducted to introduce the antifouling coatings inspired by the five strategies. Moreover, a discussion is conducted about the existing problems with the five strategies and the direction of their further development is indicated.

受珊瑚启发的新型海洋防污涂料

摘要 生物污垢是海洋工业面临的主要问题。由于有毒防污涂料因其对海洋环境的负面影响而在全球范围内被禁止，因此开发环保高效的防污涂料已被确定为迫切需要。作为替代方案，这些年来受珊瑚启发的防污涂料引起了极大的关注。在海洋环境中，珊瑚已经进化出极好的防污能力。珊瑚应用的防污策略主要有五种，包括天然防污剂、污垢释放效应、蜕皮效应、软触手和荧光效应。在本文中，进行了简要回顾，介绍了受五种策略启发的防污涂料。而且，
