Biofouling caused by the attachment of marine organisms will cause damage to marine equipment, and may also affect the marine ecological balance. Marine biofouling has always been the focus of attention at home and abroad. Anti-fouling coatings for marine equipment are considered to be the most economical and effective method to prevent marine biofouling. However, traditional anti-fouling coatings have environmental pollution problems. Marine antifouling coatings are getting more and more attention and are widely used. In this paper, a brief review of the latest research progress in chemical antifouling, physical antifouling, and bionic/smart antifouling coatings is presented, and the future development of marine antifouling coatings is prospected.
