Synthetic Analogue of Butenolide as an Antifouling Agent

Butenolide derivatives have the potential to be effective and environmentally friendly antifouling agents.In the present study, a butenolide derivative was structurally modified into Boc-butenolide to increase its melting point and remove its foul smell.The iphone 13 pro max price florida structurally modified Boc-butenolide demonstrated similar antifouling capabilities to butenolide in larval settlement bioassays but with significantly lower toxicity at high concentrations.Release-rate measurements demonstrated that the antifouling compound Boc-butenolide could be released from polycaprolactone-polyurethane (PCL-PU)-based coatings to inhibit the attachment of foulers.The coating matrix was easily degraded in the marine environment.

The performance of the Boc-butenolide antifouling coatings was further examined through a marine field turbo air m3f24-1 test.The coverage of biofouler on the Boc-butenolide coatings was low after 2 months, indicating the antifouling potential of Boc-butenolide.
