“…Active components tend to leach in a moist environment. For anti-fouling purpose, biocides are encapsulated into various carriers: zinc-pyrithione in 2-10 nm silica aerogel particles (Wallström et al, 2011), 3-iodoprop-2-ynyl N-butylcarbamate in porous silica microspheres (Sørensen et al, 2010), silver nanoparticles in gelatinous microparticles (Szabó et al, 2011), medetomidine in poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres (Nordstierna et al, 2010), medetomidine, seanine, Irgarol, tolylfluanid in poly(methylmethacrylate) (Mok, 2010) and in hydroxystyrene homo and copolymer microspheres (Ghosh, et al, 2003), 3-isothiazoline derivatives in acrylic microgels (Gold et al, 2003), in acrylate, gum arabic, formaldehyde-melamine resin microparticles (Baum et al, 2008) or adsorbed on the surface of carbon-, silica-and zeolite microparticles (Dai et al, 2004;Aldcroft et al, 2005). Anti-corrosive self-regeneration is realized by slow, mostly pH-triggered release of inhibitors from micro-or nanoreservoirs (Shchukin et al, 2007;Motornov et al, 2010).…”
