In nature, microbes tend to form synergistic biofilms on a wide range of materials using
extracellular polymeric substances to embed sessile cells. Problematic biofilms provide …

The structural parts of marine architectures permanently submerged in sea-water (such as
underwater pipelines, oil well-heads, platforms, ship-hulls, barges, jetties and so on) are …

External corrosion of buried carbon steel pipes is a problem of global proportions, affecting a
wide range of industries and services. Many factors affect corrosion rates. Biofilms may …

Microbial biofilms are biological structures composed of surface-attached microbial
communities embedded in an extracellular polymeric matrix. In aquatic environments, the …

Any natural or artificial substratum exposed to seawater is quickly fouled by marine
microorganisms and later by macrofouling species. Microfouling organisms on the surface of …

High strength-to-weight ratio, commendable biocompatibility and excellent corrosion
resistance make Ti alloys widely applicable in aerospace, medical and marine industries …

This review examines the electrochemical techniques used to study extracellular electron
transfer in the electrochemically active biofilms that are used in microbial fuel cells and other …

Surfaces immersed in seawater are rapidly colonized by various microorganisms, resulting
in the formation of heterogenic marine biofilms. These communities are known to influence …

Following the ban in 2003 on the use of tributyl-tin compounds in antifouling coatings, the
search for an environmentally-friendly alternative has accelerated. Biocidal TBT alternatives …

The focus of the present article is on understanding the insight that X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) measurements can provide when studying self-assembled monolayers …
