Abstract
Silicone materials are widely used in fouling release coatings, but developing eco-friendly protection via biosourced coatings, such as polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHA) presents a major challenge. Anti-bioadhesion properties of medium chain length PHA and short chain length PHA films are studied and compared with a reference Polydimethylsiloxane coating. The results highlight the best capability of the soft and low-roughness PHA-mcl films to resist bacteria or diatoms adsorption as compared to neat PDMS and PHBHV coatings. These parameters are insufficient to explain all the results and other properties related to PHA crystallinity are discussed. Moreover, the addition of a low amount of PEG copolymers within the coatings, to create amphiphilic coatings, boosts their anti-adhesive properties. This work reveals the importance of the physical or chemical ambiguity of surfaces in their anti-adhesive effectiveness and highlights the potential of PHA-mcl film to resist the primary adhesion of microorganisms.
