The ocean can provide a lot of energy and resources for human beings,but it is inevitable that marine organisms will be attached to the surface of facilities and ships,forming biological fouling,which will have a negative impact on marine industries.At present,among many marine antifouling methods,spraying antifouling coating on the surface is a more efficient,economical and convenient method,and has become one of the most commonly used marine antifouling methods.In view of this,the antifouling principles and research progress of various antifouling coatings are listed,including self-polishing antifouling coating,bionic antifouling coating,fouling impedance antifouling coating,fouling release antifouling coating,etc.The development prospects and possible development directions of antifouling coatings are prospected.
