From: On the mechanism of marine fouling-prevention performance of oil-containing silicone elastomers
Comparative performance of o-PDMS, i-PDMS, Intersleek 700 and a PDMS control coating in marine fouling assays. Surfaces were tested for anti-adhesion performance against (A) bacteria (Cellulophaga lytica) (N = 3), (B) microalgal diatoms (Navicula incerta) (N = 4), (C) mussels (Geukensia demissa) (N = 6) and (D) barnacles (Amphibalanus amphitrite) (N = 6). Error bars = standard deviation (SD). * Signifies no adhesion took place.
