Description Biofouling is due to unicellular microorganisms, fungi and algae adhering on surfaces wetted by fluids suitable to the cell growth. depending on the substrates on which the biofilm is formed (a wall, a ship, a heat exchanger, a pipe of a food plant...) the problems arising are different and different are the strategies to solve them. A common approach is to apply an antifouling coating. The present project aims to prepare new films by photopolymerisation and investigate the relationships between the film structure (chemical composition, morphology, crosslinking density...) and the antifouling effects.
