Abstract  

Marine biofouling has many adverse effect on human marine activities and marine industry. The traditional antifouling strategies of using biocide such as organic tin and metal ions can lead to environmental pollution and ecosystem destruction. The natural anti-adhesion mechanism exhibited by organisms brings a new idea to the research and development of green antifouling materials. Inspired by biophysical epidermis physical structure and bionic antifouling mechanism, this paper reviews the research progress of two underwater bionic antifouling strategies, namely the bionic microtopography reproduction and the surface wettability regulation, and their future development is also prospected.
Key words:  underwater      biomimetic      antifouling      surface microtopography      wettability
