Adsorption of Mussel Protein on Polymer Antifouling Membranes: A Molecular Dynamics Study

Biofouling is one of the most difficult problems in the field of marine engineering. In this work, molecular dynamics simulation was used to study the adsorption process of mussel protein on the surface of two antifouling films—hydrophilic film and hydrophobic film—trying to reveal the mechanism of...

description Biofouling is one of the most difficult problems in the field of marine engineering. In this work, molecular dynamics simulation was used to study the adsorption process of mussel protein on the surface of two antifouling films—hydrophilic film and hydrophobic film—trying to reveal the mechanism of protein adsorption and the antifouling mechanism of materials at the molecular level. The simulated conclusion is helpful to design and find new antifouling coatings for the experiments in the future.
