The limiting effects of biofouling have restrained the widespread deployment of optical marine sensors. This has necessitated the development of biofilm resistant coatings that are not detrimental to the quality of any measurement recorded. A comprehensive study has been carried out into the effect of changes in the diameter of optical ports. It was found that increasing the diameter of an optical...
Six bulk polymers potentially suitable for use as optical ports of underwater instruments were exposed to a solution of marine bacteria after soaking in distilled water or surfactant solutions. The effect of the surfactant solutions was to reduce fouling build-up on four of the six polymers. The presence of the surfactant altered the surface energy of the polymers. The surfactant reduced the importance...
