Description
Shakiba Dadkhah and two colleagues built in 2026 a UV-cured water-based coating that fights both corrosion and bacteria on marine metal. Their mix blends titanium dioxide, polyaniline, and a treated calixarene into urethane-acrylate, aiming at sea service.
The coating raised cross-link density and heat tolerance, with low-frequency resistance rising up to a hundredfold during long immersion. Its three parts build a redox-active passive layer, twist travel paths and trap charge, and spread the mix evenly while binding metal ions. It strongly blocked Staphylococcus aureus but barely touched Escherichia coli. The platform pairs corrosion defence with targeted germ control.
